Which large MPV to go for?
Hi, I'm looking for a seven-seater with a large boot. We have been looking at the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life, but don't know too much about them except they seem to fit our needs and price range (3/4 years old). Am I missing any other people carriers because I've been focusing on boot space?

What will I replace my Fiat Multipla with?
I want to replace my Fiat Multipla, which I love. Have delayed replacing it as Fiat discontinued it after 2007 and I haven't been able to find a replacement that offers the six-seat option (3 in front, 3 in back). In addition, the Multipla had a decent sized boot. Can you suggest an alternative to the Multipla?

Which seven-seater to go for?
We are looking for a used petrol seven-seater (we do low mileage) and have narrowed it down to two cars: Nissan Qashqai, 2011, 1.6 petrol, 27,000km or Toyota Corolla Verso, 2012, 1.6 petrol, 35,000 miles (import from the North). Both cars seem to be in good nick and drive well and I am guessing will be in the same tax bracket. The Verso is a couple of thousand more expensive, but within our budget.

I need a very large car for up to €16,000.
I have a budget of around €13,000 to €16,000 and and need to buy a seven-seater diesel that will accommodate two adults and five children aged 7, 10, 12, 14 and 17 years. Have no interest in what the car looks like, need the most reliable engine, with the most leg room possible and will not be trading up etc so maintenance costs a factor too. Will drive the car for as long as it lasts, live in the countryside so average weekly mileage around 130km.
Would be so grateful for some advice.
