Could you recommend a 7 seat, economical car for £12,000?
I currently have a Vauxhall Zafira and am looking to buy a new 7 seat car. I have a £12,000 budget and I want a car that is economical to run, performs well in all weathers, good mpg, has easy access to the rear seats and has Navigation as standard. What are your recommendations?

The most reliable seems to be the Toyota Verso 1.8 i Valvematic Multidrive S or the Toyota Prius Plus, but Prius Plus are fetching good money by being snapped up by taxi drivers.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
