What MPV will I replace my Passat with?
Hi. I'm looking to buy a family car (seven-seater if possible). Currently driving a Passat, which I love, but looking for something that can also fit grandparents +2 children on occasion. Looked at Volkswagen Sharan but would appreciate other recommendations.
Thanks
Our answer:
Hi Jamie,
The Sharan is definitely a good shout but the SEAT Alhambra is the same car at a more affordable price. The Ford S-Max is lovely to drive and smart looking but the bigger Galaxy has proper space in the third row. Or you could try to track down an ex-airport limo Mercedes-Benz V-Class or Volkswagen Caravelle...
