Diahatsu Hijet has 6 seats. There is one on AutoTrader for £500.

I only mention it as someone along the street has just gotten one.

Something like that would be good as it wouldn't use too much fuel. Its only got a 1.3 engine or something like that! Also as its a daihatsu it won't break.

They only need it for three months.
Fuel consumption doesn't come into it!

Peugeot 307 also comes in 7 seater version.

Also as a new driver, what is your budget for insurance because this could restrict you more than your budget for the car.

Was gonna post the same - as a new driver, I'd be thinking about what Insurance may be, first.

As a new driver, you'd mainly be best looking at something small engined, probs up to 1.3 max. (EDIT: Just seent he HiJet post above - maybe you can get the size vehicle required, with a smaller engine).

But if you need a large 6 seater, dont many of those only come with larger engines (to pull the larger type of car)? - which will itself set a level of insurance.
