Need a new car....

Austin Montego Countryman Estate 7 seater?
kidding, of course.
haha - My dad used to own one of these back when I was a kid.
The 1.6TDCi is only 90bhp, wanted something quicker for when the car is fully laden.
The 2.0 Petrol doesn't seem that bad from what I can find, will do some more research - thanks
Chevvy's don't looks to bad actually, THIS one seems very good. A car I'd actually consider regardless of the RFL and the MPG
Nice but out of budget.

Never driven an Orlando, looks pretty terrible though! The Captiva would be much better, they're genuinely OKOK
AAn old civic doesn't really seem like what you're after at all
Rented a Captiva last year. I'm going to sound like a stuck record but that was terrible as well. Cheap and nasty plastic everywhere, not great to drive and very thirsty for what it was as a result of its rubbish aerodynamics and 4wd (Though I guess they may do 2wd versions?).
Not looking for a civic, just interested in how it's going.
Fox, just curious as to why you keep putting some of these vehicles down. No disrespect but I get the impression your preference with premium brands clouds your judgement on cheaper vehicles.

You need to remember the comparative cars he is looking at here, they're fine....for what they are and what they cost. A 2wd diseasel would be fine
For the money you'll get a relatively new and flexible car
The meriva however, is indeed absolutely shocking, I hate them

Found a 1.6i Zafira local to me. Its an 06 plate with 33k on the clock and drives well. There is a knocking noise which is an anti roll link in need of replacement but other than the awful cable design of the gear box, I can't fault it for 4.5k.
What you think?

If all it needed was the drop link replacing wouldn't you just change it?
Do you want to buy from the kind of owner who neglects basic maintenance such as this?
Mileage is pretty irrelevant, does it feel like its done the same 3 mile trip every day for 8 years? Seems expensive to me, but I'm not an expert on old people carriers.

Me and my wife have discussed at length our preference to 5/7 seaters and MPV/Estates.
Our conclusion was so long as the car is spacious and comfortable, it'll be fine. With that in mind, what are peoples thoughts on something like this?

That works for so many cars though.

£4.5k!? I just paid £2.3k for a 57 plate Vectra. Ok, it's done 85k miles but maybe I got a bargain?
Petrol or diesel?
I bet it's factory mint at that money.
