We have a Chrysler Grand Voyager. It is about the roomiest people carrier there is.

VW Touran
Toyota Verso - which has had the rave reviews of late.

alliebaba · 23/02/2006 21:02

hmmmmm, not sure on the picasso tbh, i like things a bit different (hence me rulling out most of the ones on my list already). i like the look of the mazda5, but cant afford the hefty advance payment on it if dd2 does qualify for mobility. same goes for most of the 4x4.

ernest · 24/02/2006 07:34

peugeot 807/citroen c8. my dh has now decided he wants a landrover discovery - now with 7 seats

longwaytogo · 24/02/2006 08:16

Don't know if Fiat Multipla is on the list but we can fit 3 car seats in the back of ours plus it has three full size seats in the front. Boot space is far more than we ever had in the Zafira and we couldn't get three car seats in the back of that, and if we could you are then unable to access very back seats if you wanted to.

allyco · 24/02/2006 10:05

DH has a Zafira VXR - very nice.

I'm waiting on the Mazda5. Ordered it in January and told should be here April/May because the model I wanted wasn't in any UK dealership currently and Mazda only have factories in Japan, so I am stuck heaving DD in and out of a tiny two-door crapmobile for another couple of months.

I have a fiat ulysses and I am a childminder so I have to fit in 3 car seats and 2 boosters. In the boot I have a double buggy with a single buggy on top of it with raincovers, footmuffs etc and then when on the school run I also fit in 3 lots of school bags. I think that's quite good

madness · 24/02/2006 11:18

DumbledoresGirl, what's it like? , DH wants to buy that one. My sister has one and seems happy, but I suspect I'm the one who has to frive it and park it....

zippitippitoes · 24/02/2006 11:21

Fiat doblo available with 5 or 7 seats and the roof can be raised for a wheel chair passenger in the boot with the 5 seater

It's the cheapest 7 seater

SoupDragon · 24/02/2006 13:24

I believe the BMW X5 is coming out as a 7 seater late this year...

ernest · 24/02/2006 19:01

the ulysses, peugeot 807 & citroen c8 are all the same car with only minor cosmetic differences. i love my 807.
loads of manufacturers are moving into the 7 seater big car, 4x4 market. Audi's just brought one out too

Enid · 24/02/2006 19:02

stephanie21 · 24/02/2006 19:04
