At the moment I drive a Toytoa carolla verso t-spirit and have done for a year and a half. I find that with all seven seats up i do not have enough room for pushchairs and bags.

I have been looking at Chrylsers and Reanults, as have drivern citron,peaught and don't like them.

anyone got any advice on what 7 seater car to get

difficult to move from a toyota to other brands actually because toyota is so good. have you considered a previa or is that too big? chrysler grand voyager knocks the spots off any french mpv, but it is huge as well. don't go anywhere near a ford galaxy, least reliable car in britain apparently.

My partner did not like the pariva and is expensive as you have to go for a newis modle otherwise the middle seat only has a lap belt and is no good for carseats.
the chrylser worried us about its safety record as its not very good on all the websites.

found it amazing comparing toytoa to other cars, but mine is in very good condition but has lost loads in value.

good thing about the chrysler is that instead of having 3 seats in the middle row and two in the back, it has 3 seats in the back row, and a seat on each side in the middle, leaving a sort of aisle down the middle.
makes it SO much easier to get people in and out of the back row of seats and makes it feel much roomier inside and generally v practical. we hired one for 3 weeks on holiday and were surprised how impressed we were with it considering we are MPV-haters as a family.

well I hired it in the states so we were just laughing about how cheap petrol waas, we didn't pay any attention to how much it drank! I'm sure it is less fuel efficient than the toyota, being american and all.
