i've got a ford galaxy. its brilliant! and for sale soon boo hoo.... dh has a newish car now and cant justify having 2.
i've got 3 kids and an 'occasional stepson' (he lives in Vietnam) and its brilliant as you can separate them so they cant touch each other and fight! plus you can configure seats so you can put buggy in without collapsing it!

my first 7 seater was a galaxy. loved it.

we don't need buggy's or worry about fighting

well I love my peugeot 807. Elentronic slidey doors abs. brilliant. 7 full size seats. each can be individually removed/reclined etc.

2nd choice was chrysler grand voyager. Didn't like the seating bank for 3 at the back, only 4 individualö full size seats. Can't fit eg 3 car seats on '3 seater' bench seat. It's really more 2.5 places. but seats do fold into floor which is cool.

For me having 7 full size & individual seats and flexibility was more important, so went for peugeot over Chrysler. Plus more economical, plus, just had better feeling for peugeot over chrysler.

depends really how old your kids are, what you want/need, other than 7 seats. let me know if you want any more feed back. In the last year I have test driven 6 prodded & poked nearly every 7 seater on the market.

I have the peugeot but I have towed home twice now in it - and now th can belt seems to have gone and wil cost me 2000 to mend!!

Hia honey!!!!!

Depends on how much you have to spend - my mechanic really rates zafiras for reliability, value for money etc, if that is an important factor for you.

You should have come to see my sooty van (but only 6 seater, Zafira will be luxury after that.....

We have toyota previa gx. Seats 7 with good size boot as well.

We've just got a Ford S-max and it's FAB.

it's been raved about on laods of car programmes and stuff.

Highly recommended.

nearlymybeetrootday · 14/01/2007 15:14

Touran is 15.500 with 3000 on the clock

Seat Alhambra (which is the same as the VW Sharan). I love ours.

Heavenis · 15/01/2007 09:54

We have a Toyota Estima,sliding doors,seats turn round. Lots of boot space even with 7 people in.
