I have spared time to answer the ops question as I have been in a simlar position to him/her in the last 12 months and share the view that mpvs are 'dreadful'.

I didnt say they where dreadful completely as vehicles but look dreadful.

will your wife be driving it?
how confident is she behind the wheel?
what's her opinions on the choice of vehicle?
any input to go on?

my wife has been driving for 10 years and 3 years for me. (i started late.) car needs to fit dog, 2 prams and say bags for holidays. She is very confident in driving and has passed the advanced driving course which ll be starting in the new year.
her opnions on the car, she doesnt care as long as it offers good runnng value and packs everything in.

this thread has become very bickery chaps, and slightly more orientated to the marketing of mpvs over estates.
