Here do...

Perfect, cheap 6 seat mumsy bus with sensible, easy access doors and a stupidly big boot  :y

Woooah tacky plastic city or what!
It's a vauxhall. ;D Renault van
which is built in Luton, by Vauxhall ::)

With Renault parts.....
Renault have made some seriously underrated vehicles over the years IMO. In the 1980s I new a few people who had cars with Renault 3 litre V6 engines in that they seemed very pleased with. I was only interested in motorbikes at the time though so I didn't pay too much attention.

had a t reg sharan 110 bhp one but it had been messed with and it went like split shit so I got rid to save my licence but it was a good car,ive had a zafira and I hated it with a passion I couldn't get out of it without slamming the door I reaaly hated that car so much I swapped it for a p reg sharan unroadtested just to get shut and this sharan is a sack of shit,everything is wrong with it electrics are goosed and turbo puts it into limp mode quite often but its only a stop gap to keep me on the road and im tempted to buy a newer one but its a shame they don't have slideing doors,voyagers are high insurance,merc v class are crap but the layout is good tbh if I had the money I don't know what id get cos modern cars are crap

Defo need something larger than Zafira class - its OK for occasional use of rear set of seats, but not day-to-day.

I have had 2 x Ford Galaxy's and they are excellent at people moving - one even had 4 wheel drive which was brilliant in snow! All 7 seats are comfortable as they are proper seats, the seats that are able to fold into the floor feel too thin and I think they have sacrificed comfort for practicality.  Some Galaxy's have built in booster.child seats which are handy, also add a roof box and you have a great car for family holidays.
