Does anyone have any suggestions.. I would prefer it to look like an MPV rather than a Minibus and preferably not a Toyota as I've heard the engines are "slightly" difficult to work on ;)

I'm looking around the 8k mark and would like a Diesel engine and something not too expensive to tax and insure.

    At this point in time I cannot think of any other 8 seat MPV except the Toyota Previa and all it's import clones. Everything else will be a minibus or a 9 seat Land Rover Defender, unless you look for something American.

    Buy two 5 seater cars for the £8000? I know someone who did that! Couldnt find anything decent and they wanted all 8 people to be comfy!

    we've just got a nissan serena and its great (and it only cost £200 :eek:)

    Just a pain to check the oil when the engine is under the driver and passenger seats and you have to pull the centre console out :o
