What MPV?

Our Toyota Previa is getting a bit elderly and ready for replacement. The later model does not really cut it for us - we need enough weight and power to tow a 1300kg twin axle caravan. It must be a full-size MPV as we need to transport two hockey goalie bags as well as a full complement of passengers, and it must be an automatic. And we can't afford new - it will likely be about 03 reg.

Not many cars in the frame for this - C8, Espace, Grand Voyager. Any others worth considering? Anything to avoid?

What's a full complement of passengers? 2 hockey goalie bags fit in the back of most estates or even an A8 saloon & they're much more pleasant to drive.

Just a quick question - when did you pass your driving test?

We do use the 7-seat capabilty often enough. My wife (it's her car) treats it like a van and it is not unusual to load it to near-roof level for car boots & the like; she likes the height, not only for the driving position, but also for hanging fancy dress on a rail in the back. So an MPV it must be. We've had them for about 8 years now and we like driving them.

Back in the year dot - I still have a pink paper licence! About '81 IIRC. So yes, I do have the towing group.

Good man. There's a lot towing out there who haven't and are unaware they need to.

You're still a baby at it - passed my test in '67 and still running on the old green paper driving licence!

I can't say that the last 42 years have been entirely accident free though (like some would have us believe). LOL

Strange things. How about parts and servicing?

No, not convinced about imports either. Especially that one.
