Recommendation update

I recently asked your opinion on the SEAT Alhambra and the Peugeot 5008 with the semi-auto gearboxes. You said neither and recommended the Toyota Verso which is above my price range on Motability. Someone has said you have changed your mind about the SEAT.

If this is the case what are your reasons for the change heart.

Proper seven-seat practicality which is more than you can say for most SUVs, practical and spacious even with all seven seats occupied, sliding rear doors are a real boon especially the electric versions.
