Not too fussed about boot space but we only have £5k to spend.
Thanks in advance.

I loved our Xsara Picasso. Not too much bending to do up child seats and lots of room.

Are picasso type things really all that much bigger inside? I mean than an ordinary car? They always look similar.

Honda FRV.

Six seats, all full size (2 rows of three)

great car, decent bootsace, works well for us.

I saw a Honda thingy the other day and couldn't resist a peep inside the windows. It looked very nice, spacious and a contender to replace ours eventually.
Also have a friend who has the Citroen C8 (i think it is), she loves it!
I quite like the doors that slide, got to be better for parking and getting all the kids out without them braying the nearest car door.

Should mention that Galaxy, Alhambra and Touran are all exactly the same car, just the trims, stereos etc inside are different.

about a year ago we had a scenic but could not get a newborn, 21month old seat and a 4 year old seat in the car safely and easily, so we got a honda shuttle, with low mileage for 3k and its fab really spacey, a joy to drive and i love it cant rate it highly enough

I have a Citroen Xsara Picasso it has 3 proper size seats in the back. I use 2 car seats and the 3rd dc sits very comfortable in between and not squashed.

I meant to add the other day that we get nigh on 40 mpg in the Almera if we're on a long run, around 35 mpg around town. I think that's quite good.

And... for poor parkers like me it has a rear view camera on the dashboard! (pretty cool!)

I find it easy to drive even though it's bigger than any previous car we've had due to you being high up and able to see out well.

hi all
i have had my renault grande espace for 8 years now and would not want to change to any other car except a nice convertible for just me lol

it offers space and a bigger boot than most people carriers.
the we have removed the middle seat in the 2nd row to allow the kids to walk through the middle and not keep climbing over the seats as its too much hassle for them to push the seats forward.

i personally would recommend them especially if you are planning on having a 4th
