New Toyota Verso or Prius+ for our family MPV?

Hi,

We are planning to purchase a new MPV this year. We've three kids so need a good sized five-seater with two additional seats for occasional use. We've narrowed the list to the following: Toyota Verso - looking at the 1.6 D-4D - or the Toyota Prius+. We do around 17,000km a year with about 5k of that long motorway journeys and the rest short school runs, local shops etc. We've never owned a diesel and I'm a little concerned with going that route given our usage is mostly in town and I've heard horror stories about EGR/DPF problems . The Verso (Luna Skyview) is going to work out about €3K cheaper than the Prius+ so my head is saying Verso but perhaps the Prius is a better fit for our usage patterns? I'd appreciate any advice!

Will larger wheels make my new Golf less comfortable?

I am thinking of trading in my Golf Mark 6 Highline, which has 16-inch wheels, for the new mark 7 Highline, which has now standard 17-inch wheels. Worried it may not be as comfortable on back roads.
