Which large family car to go for?
Hi I am currently looking to upgrade my car that will allow me to fit 3 car seats in the back. I am not sure whether to go with a 7 seater or a 5 seater. My budget is around €20,000 for second hand around 2017. Can you give me some advice on a good car to get that will accommodate my family. Many thanks
Our answer:
Hi Deirdre,
Four vehicles, that we know of, which can fit three child seats across their second-row bench, are the Volkswagen Touran, the SEAT Alhambra, the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso and the Audi Q7. Of these, the prices of the Q7 and the Touran are probably higher than €20,000 (certainly for a 2017 Q7, at any rate) and the Alhambra will be in budget, but only if you look at an older car. Therefore, the easiest one to find in your budget is the Citroen, which is lucky, because it’s a great family car.
