I need a seven-seat MPV to replace my Merc estate...
Hi, my 1997 E 230 Mercedes estate just failed its NCT and I've decided not to put any more money into keeping it going. I am looking for a second hand, large seven-seater (for three kids and two dogs), with a budget of approx €6,000.
I want space, practicality, reliability and preferably low running costs. My preference would be Ford Galaxy (on reputation), but mileage in my price range tends to be high. French brands (Citroen C8, Peugeot 807 and Renault Espace) seem to review poorly. Hyundai Trajet maybe? SEAT Alhambra? Any others I should be considering? All advice gratefully received.

What's the 1.7-litre Opel Astra CDTi like?
I'm thinking of buying a 2010 Opel Astra 1.7 diesel. What do you think of these cars? Have you driven them? Are they reliable? What sort of trouble do they give?

This Suzuki Vitara XL7 looks great. What should I look out for?
I have seen an impeccable 2005 Suzuki Vitara 2.0 XL7 Diesel - a seven-seater. It has one owner, 80,000 genuine miles, and it's bronze in colour. Full service history, five new tyres, new timing chain and NCT until Feb 2015. Asking price €7,500. Is there anything I should look out for before making an offer?
