Can you recommend an 8-seat vehicle with lots of space and cheap running costs?

I have far too many kids and need a reasonably-priced 8-seater with plenty of space, that is reliable and relatively cheap to run. The only things I can find that may be suitable are things like the Mitsubishi Delica or the Mazda Bongo. What would you recommend?

That's about it, or a Nissan Elgrande. Or an old Previa GS. Best to avoid old Lucida Estima 4WD diesel autos, because when parts like the turbos fail they are expensive to fix.
