Which car for 3 children?


Ok, Im going to have to have a new car sometime soon!

This is a list of needs....................

*Must have 3 full seatbelts in the back....needs to fit 2 car seats and 1 booster seat.

*Must have good boot space.......will need a double buggy.

* Must be diesel, pref TDI.

And the ideals....

* Preferably not a people carrier.

* Not brand new, cant afford much.


Come on then.......Any ideas??

I have just looked on the 'What Car' website and they suggest the Zafira for the best 2nd hand MPV.
I have a VW Passat at the minute ( and an Alfa Romeo 147, which is the one to go!) I love my VW's and looked at a Sharan, but dunno if we could afford one.
But I really really dont want a MPV. I have no idea why!!
Sell them to me !!

Now i have found it to be:

Practical
Comfortable
Easy to drive
Affordable
Fuel Efficant
Maddie LOVES it she is higher up and can see out of the window
The space is GREAT
We have a top box for holidays
We arn't "squished"

I never had one before and i hate driving the focus now lol!!
