info on MPV cars please.

[psychomum5]

I am wanting some MPV info please. Our toyota previa got written off last week (have another thread on that), and we are now looking for another car.
I really want another previa but they are proving very hard to find, so am now needing to look for other MPV's. Problem is I don't actually know any of the names of the other makes to look any up on the PC.

Hoping you lovely ladies can help me. :)

Car needs to be big enough for 5 kiddies and holiday luggage as we going on hols in 3wks! I know that vauxhall safira's are out,and we know that cos that is what the insurance co. have kindly supplied. We can't even get a weeks shopping in when we all inside!

So.......do you have an MPV, what type is it, and is it any good??

Thankyou lots.

we've got the renault scenic which only seats 5 in total but there is a bigger version of it i think which seats 7

multipla

seats 6

love it

ahh, would that be the espace???

need to know as when i go into auto trader they have all the types but I still don't know the names of the MPV's to look properly. prooving a headache:(

thanks enid, but i definalty need 7 seats:)

i have a vw caravelle 8 seater for sale it is big enough for ny 7 children (only selling as a now need a 9 seater)!!!!!! 2.5 tdi auto we are looking for around £10.500ish vreg yr2000

We are very happy with our Citroen C8. It's a seven-seater, so with the back two taken out there would be bags of room for holiday luggage and the obligatory hypermarket purchases.

It's our third MPV, and by far the best - the sliding electric doors are fab, and it is really easy to drive and park. It is very reasonably priced.

I got a galaxy in Feb. Wanted an 8 seater car but not much around at the time so we settled for 7!
I love it. Had a Zafira before that loved that too but too small for us.

i can fit my jane powertwin in boot without folding it up and i also have 2 sliding side doors

thanks mumo75. have looked one up on autotrader and they look about right.

now need a few more options to find to show DH when he gets home....:)

we have a seat alhambra, simialr sized to the previa but I would have thought that it would be a squeeze with 5 kids. We have four and it's a nice size for us. They are also reasonably priced and made alongside VW so good cars. The renault espace is bigger, we had that on holiday and found it a lot more roomy.

There are 7 of us and the galaxy is fine

auntymandy...is the galaxy by ford?? what is the boot space like??

Psycho...hello :) hope ur ok.

We have been looking at 7 seaters recently and found these...

Hope thats a little help (and that the links work!

Just noticed that you actually have five kids, psychomum, not a family of 5, therefore you need all 7 seats of an MPV.

We also have five children and did OK on holiday with our C8. There is a reasonable space behind the boot for cases (we have gone for short breaks just using the boot space). But for a proper holiday, you really need a roof box.

I think the Previa and Grand Espace have slightly larger boot space, but I doubt this would be enough to avoid the roof box. A roof box is not a problem, btw, but you are more limited with parking - can't use inside parking, and lots of outdoor places have bars to prevent high vehicles coming in.

have got more brochures on the way but can't remember what for

hello mumofmonsters. huge hugs for you:) will try links in a mo....

scienceteacher...we do in fact have a roofboox, so that is one problem solved, but like you say they no good in multistories. I found that one out when I drove into one and got stuck a few years ago

yes its ford. The boot isnt huge but much bigger than the zafira so I think its big!!!
I can fit in most of my shopping. Managed weekends away without much prob. I am good at packing light though!
Loads of space between rows of sets too and ours has built in baby seats which I find useful

psycho, do what i did and find makes of car from autotrader then go on that makes website for a nosey and order brochures if that makes sense at all ??!! that way u get to see inside and then u go on autotrader to find a cheap used one!(btw the s max isn't out yet but is v good space wise - had alook y'day)

pssst... really need a 9 seater, or I'm gonna have to start driving my own children places

then she needs a minibus not an MPV flame :-P

links work...:)

see, i knew you lot would help. I feeling so fuzzy i don't know what to look for except type in mpv and get sent to some wierd and wonderful site

i doooo need a mini bus it seems then flame

I saw a nice 9 seat caravelle. it was a long wheel base. lovely

ford do a big one..cant remember its name. Its a toureno or something!

We have a mazda premacy 5 seats but huge bot. I know they do an 7 seat MP too so maybe ths to has bags of room?
