Car for 2 adults and 3 kids!

Hi,

I currently have a BMW series 1, which is cramped with two adults and two children (sometimes a dog as well!). I'm currently pregnant, so will be needing to fit two adults, two children in booster seats, and a baby car seat and pram in my car (plus sometimes dog!), which is impossible with my current car!

I'm looking at getting one on PCP (not doe this before, but some in my family do it) and I'm looking at the Kia Xceed, as it fits in my budget (max £350 a month, and I do around 20,000 miles a year :O )

What are people's thoughts, or are there any other suggestions?!

Thanks

I couldn't comment on the Kia.
I would look at the Ford S-Max, if it's in budget?
Maybe the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, but I'm always dubious about French car brands.

We've just gone from a 1 series to an XC90 in exactly your position. You'll probably struggle to find one in your budget though.

I was just reading the latest Which report on car reliability and they reckoned the XC90 was the least reliable car in their survey. I hope yours is the exception.

I dont think Volvos are what they once were. Kia seems good on reliability.
