Vauxhall Zafira.
Wouldn't do without it. It swallows huge amounts of luggage, or can seat 
seven. No need to lug heavy seats out, as in the Scenic. Al rear seats 
fold up.
Fold the seats up and it can take building rubble to the dump.
Fits (smaller) sheets of plasterboard from B+Q or flatpack wardrobes 
from Ikea.

No idea if some of the old-style models are still available from the car 
supermarkets - you might be able to get a bargain.

Get a diesel if you do lots of long journeys. For in-town use only I 
would think about a petrol, as the diesel takes a few miles to warm up.
I love my diesel - but I do a lot of motorway miles. Suits my driving 
style - lots of torque, and cruises along a motorway fine. Good in town too.
