I'm thinking of buying a seven-seat MPV.

Hello, I’m thinking of buying an MPV, possibly Citroen Grand Picasso or Renault Grand Scenic. I have max €10,000 plus 2004 Renault Mégane 1.6 petrol Dynamic with low mileage to trade in. I’m reluctant to buy another Renault as I had many electrical problems with the Mégane. Also, petrol or diesel? Any advice? Thanks and regards, Carol
