Espace vs Kangoo - Richard W

I have a 1994 RT 2.0 Espace, owned since new, and now with 82k miles. It has air con, and is generally comfortable and goes OK. But I am wondering whether its reliability will begin to suffer on University runs for the children and other longer trips. I do about 10k miles per year, mostly local.

I have viewed the Kangoo with interest, and wonder whether to part exchange the Espace for a new Kangoo. Or am I better off paying for the odd bills, and running the Espace for several more years.

Will I notice a drop in comfort levels on long journeys, and soon regret the move to a "cheaper" car?

Any comments or experiences welcome.
