The Zafira is the one with pressed steel dropouts in the decathlon range. But probably sufficient and the bangernomics choice.
I'd go for the Ford or VW. Have a look at them in person and make a call on what you need irl. My BiL who is very research orientated and shops keenly, bought one of the Ford something-Maxes. That's a massive ✅ in my book. He also bought a Yeti before they were cool.
Octavia is Golf sized so won't resolve your back seat issues. Superb is the same as a Passat, so you could add that. Although the Superb should be cheaper you'll struggle with no-diesel options so it's good to have a wider net.
Given you're talking about adults in the back though I think you need an MPV.

I think you need an MPV.
Yeah I am kinda leaning that way, within Ford though why would I chose S max over Tourneo Connect at same price? Genuine question.
@Howard looking at Berlingo too, are they alright ? Basically I want my usual local garage to be able to service them and dont want a breakdown on motorway lol. Although plan is to drive to France more often so maybe the French will respect the car choice more.
@pifko you are assuming I know how to change a wheel! I am basically the cycling equivalent of a person who goes to the bike shop to repair punctures when it comes to cars.

Whats DHB/Decathlon of cars?
My purpose is to haul family of 5 (parents, us and a child) for longer trips. I currently own a Fabia estate, absolutely amazing car except when 3 people have to sit at the back; very narrow with a child car seat. Its primo bangernomics, bought for £2k pre pandemic and had 2 owners and 95k miles on clock, its been absolutely fine.
I am looking for a similar economics; i know I cant get anything for £2k; can stretch to £10k. need to be slightly wider at the back with no compromise in boot space, the Fabia I have has 480 litre boot. I was looking at:
I know nothing about cars so I would buy from a dealer OR if its a really good deal with a private seller will factor in AA inspection.
What else should I look at? Are the cars on the list absolute shit?
Pls help.
