S - Max or Grande Picasso - or any alternatives?

Vauxhall Zaffira.

We had one a few years back and my OH loved it - we had the 2.2 TD. He used to love zooming ahead of the boy racers at traffic lights, bless.

Just asked OH and he says you'll not get a better people carrier than the S-Max. Excellent build quality & holds its value.

He's a car bore.

Thanks maxi

I've driven a few Citroens over the past few years and I've gone off them - I believe they are good value for money, but I dislike the plasticky look of them. I currently drive a Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0TDi and whilst there are things I like about it (boot space, generous seat space, high up drive), there is too much I dislike (drives like a tank - H refuses to drive it, plastic interior, dislike the dash layout etc).

I have been looking around, anticipating my next car and I think we're going to opt for a Ford S-Max, it'll be a diesel again.

Have you considered a VW Touran? That drives nicely too and VW do some nice engines. Or a Zafira (I don't know why but I can't warm to these).

My friend has just got a Renault Grand Scenic - that might work for you. Although personally I wouldn't be giving anything other than the S-Max a second thought, I love them and don't even need a people carrier type car.

Thanks all

i dont really like zafiras either - i think mainly because of those shocking ads with the fat middle aged children

the touran looks lovely but i dont think we can afford it really

looks like an smax then

I have a grand Picasso and I love it, it's really user friendly. We have 5 kids and it easily fits in 7 adults.

What about the toyota corolla verso.. thinking of getting this ourselves.

It is lovely - but if you have the back seats up you can barely fit a handbag in the boot

it is lovely but I do agree with you, I am not sure if I would want one if I still had a pram.
