We’ve had a Hyundai Santa Fe (which we love) for a few years but it’s coming to retirement age.

We don’t necessarily need a 4x4 hybrid but ideally I’d like an automatic. We like the convenience of the huge boot space and the flip-down third row seats. There’s only four of us but we do a lot of camping and appreciate the space.

We’d be buying second-hand and would be looking to spend around £10.00, I think.

We had a grand Picasso and it's auto box was awful. Anything going wrong costs the earth. It was only 3 when it started developing faults. I know 5 other people who have owned and regretted them

We didn’t think the Touran was big enough so had a Sharan which was great.

I love my grand c max. If you need more space you could go s max. Mine is automatic and nice and comfy!

I’m on my second Auto Grand Picasso now called SpaceTourers for some reason!

I got the top spec so it’s like a spaceship inside I have no idea what half the techy stuff does but it’s supereasy to drive and turns into a mini van when you fold all the seats down.

A random that hasn't been suggested but Ford Grand Tourneo Connect. It's basically a little van with seats BUT 7 proper seats if needed, nice to drive, fab for fitting all the camping stuff in (we're got a very big tent). And compared to my parents Santa Fe it feels like it's got a lot more room even though the external dimensions are similar

I have a Zafira. It's a 55 reg plate and has done almost 125,000 miles. I got it 10 years ago when we wanted to be able to fit all of us and the 2 grannies into 1 car for trips out.
I'm hoping to hang onto it until DS2 finishes uni in 2 more years as we can fit his cello into it along with his other stuff at the start and end of term.
I've never been all that fussed about cars provided they work, but I have loved this car. Reasonable fuel consumption, spacious inside and good visability. I'll be sad when the time comes to downsize.

We are on our second ford galaxy - massive boot in 5 seat mode and adult sized 6th and 7th seats. With all seats up it still has a decent boot - I could get my double buggy in still/several bags of shopping
