A classy car that'll fit in three child seats?

Hi,

I want to fit three car seats (3.5-year-old twins and 1.5-year-old) into the back of a new used car. Estate type of car only - no people carriers! I'm looking at Audi Avants, BMW 5 Series, Volvo V60s - can these fit three car seats in the back? Also am I missing any other make of car with similar class that will last me 10 years+ that will fit the three rug rats?!

Thank you in advance :)

Do dealers deliver cars usually?

I want to buy a car from a dealer in Dublin and I live in County Laois. Is it the responsibility of the car dealer to bring the car to my house or how does it work? My issue is that I can't drive on motorway from Dublin to County Laois.

I got a bank loan easier than a PCP deal...

Hi,

I was trying to apply for PCP finance in February with Volkswagen Bank and got declined. I then applied for a car loan off AIB and got accept for €6k more! Do you think this would give me a footing to apply for PCP next year with Volkswagen?

They seem very strict!

Hyundai Santa Fe or Chevrolet Captiva?

Hi,

I am in need of a seven-seater, was thinking of a Chevrolet Captiva or Hyundai Santa Fe. To explain fully I am a childminder, I average less than 20 miles a day and this will be a second car so looking to keep costs low. Was thinking of an 08 Captiva or a 06/07 Hyundai. I know the tax is high on the Hyundai, but I need a reliable car. I like the Chevrolet looks wise, but any input would be great.

Thank you!
