Can you recommend a vehicle that would be suitable for a family of six?

Can you recommend a vehicle that would be suitable for mum and dad with four children? Two young teens and twins of 4 years needing child seats. Unfortunately, the budget is not very big so it will need to be used/secondhand. One of the twins suffers car sickness.

You'll need something quite big to carry your family in comfort - the rear seats in many seven-seaters are for occasional use only. A SEAT Alhambra might be a good option. The latest model, introduced in 2010, has a surprising amount of room inside. Prices start at around £6000 - although they're high mileage examples at the cheaper end of the market. Alternatively, look at the huge Hyundai i800.
