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.
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.
