8 seater + car advice needed

[DilemmasAhoy]

Hello,

We currently have 4DC (6, 3, 9m, 9m) and are possibly taking on my nieces (8yo twins). If this goes forward, we will be needing a car upgrade and I'd like to avoid a mini-bus

If anyone can advise on an 8+ seater, I would be grateful. Just running the numbers for financing it at the moment. Would rather buy second hand than new but no set budget. We will need to fit 6 car seats in it and have room for a very slim double buggy due to the younger twins (We currently have a Peugeot 5008 which it fits in the boot of with all seats up so it really is a slim double).

Any helo much appreciated!

I’m not sure if there are any standard cars which would sit 8 people.
We have a Mercedes v class which is classed as a mini bus, but it’s definitely not like a bus inside - very comfortable and more like a large people carrier - 2 rows of 3 individual seat in the middle and back, 5 isofix points. Lots of boot space (we fit 2 kids bikes and a pram in with space)
I’m not sure there is really any other option than a mini bus

I have just bought an imported Mazda Biante. 8 seats.
6k.
Brilliant car!!

Have name changed, but it's OP here!

@Sunnydaysstillhere I've just had a look at that. Would it fit 3 seats across in both back rows?

@Cocacola12 you're right, that doesn't look like a mini bus at all. I will short list it. Thank you.
