You can install heavy duty suspension/springs on a Passat. That would give you a huge cargo space, and tonnes of genuinely economic engine choices. If you buy one with whatever they call their stereo upgrade then it's decent.
It's not the most inspiring thing, but they do what they do exceptionally well.

Looking for a suitable candidate to replace the Grand Picasso. Ok car but this one is really not a good example.
I need high suspension (for carrying heavy loads on regular basis), good mpg and reliable. And cheap to tax if possible. A good sound system would be great too although obviously no essential.
A 1.6-2.0 engine, petrol or diesel, would be fine I guess.
The current 1.6 HDi with turbo on the C4GP is adequate and returns a good mpg on the M'way.
I've shortlisted:
Subaru Outback or Forrester
Volvo XC70 or 90
Jeep Compass
C4 GP manual petrol
Mercedes Vito
Any other worthy recommendations?
