mazda 5 , zafira or astra estate - Sheltie508

Looking to buy new car to transport 2 adults and 5 dogs. Also once a week take mother in law shopping with her mobility scooter. I have seen following cars and wanted any advice as to which best option. Only doing 3000 miles per year so a dpf diesel is not an option.

Choices so far are a

mazda 5 2.0 petrol 2008 with 35k at £5950

Mazda5 1.8 2009 newer shape 52k £5450

Zafira 2.0dti 2003 77k ex motorbility £2400

Astra 1.7 110 2009 with 76k £5600

Mazda with 2.0 petrol looks good if I am the one buying it.

If you'e got to get the scooter in the car, the priority is a low loading height with no lip. A Citroen Berlingo might be one to add to the list.
