Which MPV?
For the last 16 years or so I've driven Ford Galaxy, save for a two year dalliance with a Peugeot 807. But it's time to get something a little smaller and more economical. Can I do that and retain the ability to occasionally have enough seats to accommodate up to six grandchildren ranging from 1 to 14 years old?
I've looked at the Grand C-MAX and it seems to suit but I was rather taken by the looks of the Fiat 500L and also wonder if I should think about the Toyota Verso.
Budget is £8000 plus my 166,000 mile 56-plate Galaxy 2.0 petrol. I'd like cruise control, and to be able to get 40+mpg.

I've tested the 7 seater version of the FIAT 500L and it's truly awful. £8k + your Galaxy wouldn't get you one anyway. Toyota Verso 1.8i Valvematic Multidrive S is okay.
