Buying a compact MPV?
We are looking for a new car to fit two adults and two babies (newborn and two years old). Would like a decent boot (around 400 litres) and we mostly drive short runs (to and from work / kindergarden) or short trips (20-30 miles). We cover less than 10,000 miles a year.
We've taken a look at the Meriva (not bad) and new Carens (maybe too big).
Any suggestions?
