Need an automatic with lots of space

I'm looking to buy an automatic that is big enough to take 5 adults at a push.

It also needs a boot big enough to carry a greyhound.

A low tax and insurance would be beneficial if possible. Not bothered about whether it's an estate or hatchback.

New or used is ok. I'm not too bothered about looks or status, but I don't like the Yeti or cars like that!

Auto, 5 seats and low tax don't go together very well. If you can squeeze everything into a Honda Jazz 1.4ES CVT-7 at £14,500, then that is currently £90 tax.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
