What MPV? Any experience/views...

I managed to get about £2300 off the price of a 1.6HDi VTR+. I have a link to a great site on my work computer which tells you how to deal with car salesmen. I'll send it tomorrow.

could you send it to all of us?

Sorry I meant I would post it here!

The website is http://www.carbuyingguide.org.uk/index.php

I used the tactic of having my wife at home and I would keep calling her on the phone. I think it annoyed the salesman, but it worked quite well!

I have a Picasso (1.9l diesel) though not a 7-seater. It's economical and spacious. It also corners like a greenhouse, looks like a pig with no legs and has the accelleration of a tractor. I don't like it but needs must.

Damn MPVs are the bain of society, big thirsty beasts which are gas guzzling monsters being used for the school run of all things - I don't want to hear any shoddy excuses about family size or personal circumstances, compulsory sterilisation after 2 kids will keep the car sizes smaller ! , anyway whats wrong with a G-whizz ?

Mine won't be used for the school run. That I can assure you! (Especially as they are still in nursery!!)

Actually the fuel economy and CO2 output of this car will be less than my previous one (a honda civic). I've moved to diesel (with particulate filter) and economy has improved since I got the honda.

FF, not an 'MPV' but some friends have a Citroen Belingo diesel. Has three good seats in the rear by all accounts and good storage space...

or how about a Vauxhall Zafira MPV - not huge, and the rear seat can fold down in, as I remember...
