Is an MPV my only option?
Hi I'm looking to upgrade the car, from an insignia to something with room for 3 car seats, it will be a booster seat, a front facing toddler seat and a rear facing baby seat (obviously that will change over time) I'm wondering what should i be looking for in terms of good value reliable roomy cars, are there any saloons that will take them? or is an MPV the only realistic option? if so any stand out option in the 2010-2011 range, diesel. Thanks!
Our answer:
Hi James,
Realistically, I’m afraid that an MPV is your only proper option. You could try squeezing into a conventional saloon or estate but with growing kids you’re onto a loser from the get-go. I’d suggest either a Ford S-Max or an Opel Zafira Tourer if you want something with lots of space and still a bit of driving enjoyment, or a Volkswagen Touran or Toyota Verso if you need something on a smaller budget.
