If your gonna get a people mover don't be half arsed about it!

Get slidey doors and Go Kia


If you don't like it, you can rent it to Dmitri

After seeing a few cars now I've got it down to three models.

1. VW Sharan 1.9 TDI or 1.8 Turbo
2. Seat Alhambra 1.9 TDI or 1.8 Turbo
3. Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDI .

I have seen loads of Kia with problems and parts are mega expensive.

So now doing some finding of cars. Keep your eyes out.

Isn't that 3x the same car, re-badged?

Yes it is.. But slightly different trims.

I like turbos and the 1.8t engine in these is 150bhp. I wont be doing mega mileage so I can have a little fun smiling .

Here ya go Ben!
How to have a MGF and cart about a large family!

Picking up a 02 reg Alhambra 1.9tdi tomorrow.
Fingers crossed its not a lemon!

Absolutely not a VW Passat, yes it's powerful, loads of space, great on fuel.

But: 2 service exchange gearboxes, one dual mass flywheel and clutch assy, one fuel pump (PD engine) and an electronic handbrake problem which the main agent could never fix over the time we had it (booked in 4 or 5 times for software/hardware updates) recalls for injectors/wiring loom issues.

It's now gone, there is far too much complex technology in the car which sometimes even the main agent struggles to fix.

It's now been replaced with a 10 plate Suzuki SZ5, hopefully good Japanese build quality and reliability.
We have only had it 2 weeks but we have high hopes for it to be far more reliable than the VW.
