7 seaters

New Shape Galaxy

The best full size MPV to drive bar none and I've driven the majority.

Grand Voyager is vast and immensely comfortable but handles like a boat and has rubbish engine/gearbox.

Previa is highly rated, a good drive with a good engine and smart looking but pretty nasty inside (tacky plastic) compared to the others.

Espace is good but will be falling apart even after 15k miles.

807/C8 have reliability issues but are very comfortable.

If you're looking for smaller then the S-max is best bet, but touran is reasonable also. Zafira not great but good value.

Nowt wrong with a Zafira, it does everything as promised by the tin, and the flex seats are excellent, touran isnt the biggest around tho.

Nothing wrong with it as such, just that the competition do most things that little bit better. However, the Zafira is cheaper which makes up for this. As I said, not great but good value.

There are worse out there! Grand Scenic is much worse

Btw - I speak from experience and have personally driven the vast majority of the cars the op will be considering.
