Hi - I thought you chaps might have some useful input for me on this tricky issue - my dh is dead against a people carrier, even though we have now come to the conclusion that we can no longer all fit into our family car (audi A6 - bought new, dh loves it and SERIOUSLY loathes people carriers!) WE can't afford a 7 seat 4x4 and in any case I feel really cr.p about the CO2 emmissions, but we do need a new car. DH is car mad and hence is actually quite depressed about the thought of getting rid of ours and getting a 'butt ugly' one (which he thinks they all are!) Right - which do you lot recommend from the reliability, cost of purchase and ownership slant and of course - isn't butt ugly. So far we are thinking Toyota previa (I like but dh thinks looks like large cockroach!) and he prefers the Ford galaxy with dvd and v6 engine!! TIA
