We need a low-emission seven-seater with sliding doors
We are going to avail of the scrappage scheme to buy a new car. Our main needs are:
- great storage: we cart around jogging buggies, bike trailers, hiking back packs etc.
- preferably A tax band (if such cars exist in Band A).
Because of storage needs we have been looking at seven seaters (although we just have one child we love lots of storage capacity) and my husband spotted one we both like (the Ford Grand C-Max). We really like the sliding back doors and the tinted back windows - keeping the sun out of our two-year old daughter's eyes is a constant struggle! It is a bit out of our price range (though if really worth it we could stretch). Just wondering what you would recommend and if there is a something similar to the Ford C-Max but cheaper?

Do I have to do 12 driving lessons?
I've been driving for the past two months and I have my licence for five. Will I have to do 12 lessons before I do my driving test or is this for new drivers?

Is the Ford Grand C-Max a good choice?
I really need help to choose the next right car for my family (me, wife and seven-year-old twin boys). I'm currently driving the Ford Focus (2007). No complaints, but do feel that newer and bigger one would be ideal. My latest shortlist is: Ford Grand C-Max, Toyota Verso and Peugeot 5008. I'm reluctant to spend too much money on power (i.e. big motor capacity etc.) and prefer to use it on comfort elsewhere.
As I'm current a customer of Ford I have to say that its offer is financially the best one out of these three at the moment. Would you recommend Grand C-Max or do you suggest to turn my attention elsewhere? Anything good/bad I should take note of with Grand C-Max?
Thanks, Andres
