Which SUV will I replace my Insignia with?

Hi, trading in my 2010 Opel insignia Elite with 73,000km as need to purchase a new car; saloon or SUV, which will fit three car seats in the second row; one baby car seat and group 1 and 2 car seats. Any suggestions? I don't like MPVs. Willing to spend approx. €35,000.

Our answer:

Hi Marie,

Plenty of options and the best thing to do is to bring the kids and their seats along on a test drive and try everything out to see what fits and what doesn't.
 
Both the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat (both new and just-replaced versions) should have just enough rear width for three seats as should Volvo's long-servicing V70. Or, if you fancied a big SUV how about a Volvo XC90 or Land Rover Discovery? They're the past masters at swallowing three child seats in the back.

Or you could just buy pretty much any car you like and one of these... http://www.multimac.co.uk/no_need_for_a_seven_seater_with_multimac - we don't have personal experience with this though can't comment on how good it is.
