People carrier

If you can wait till the year after the Hyundai i800 should start filtering through in the used market...5 years unlimited mileage warranty too, don't think anyone else would offer that on their unreliable overpriced tat.

Avoid the Mazda 5 - if you do some research, you will find that you need new tyres around every 6k... :eek:

This is only true with the sport trim. I have the TS2 version which has different tyres and alloys to sports trim and have no uneven tyre issues.

Handles better than Zafira. True the middle seat is only suitable for a child or a slim adult. Otherwise can't fault it.

Not sure what Honda have people carrier wise - they tend to produce pretty good vehicles but I have no knowledge there...

They do a FRV model which is a 6 seater. Three in front and three in rear. There is no third row of seats.

If you're looking at the V-Class then also look at the:

Hyundai i800
VW Caravelle

Its basically a van with seats lol

Always reminded me of the dodgy old LDV minibuses schools use.

I'm reluctant to say it due to redicule and public lynching but what about the multipla JTD?

Aaah...... the name fits the looks, sadly. Would've thought VW would have moved on in that area from the 1960's......... Obviously not.

That is not saying it is a bad vehicle - but I like a good car to look appealing too... I'm female and looks count.

Right Goldie?

Looking to get a new car next year, and hubby likes the look of the mercedez benz v class estate, it has seperate seats, which is ideal for the kids, does anyone have any info on this car ie its safety rating?

what other mpv's would be good?

we have a toyota previa just now and i would be happy with just a newer version as it does us well

I suspect your OH won't like this question;) but why not just keep the Previa?

What does it look like? Is it pretty? Got some nice curves? Colours?
