What car - 7 seats £21k not a people carrier
Discussion
We have three kids and my wife wants to change her Golf for something bigger so that we can take friends out too.
The obvious answer is a people carrier but neither my wife or myself are ready for one yet... Not Pistonhead enough either.
If money was no object then there are plenty of options available but as we have set a budget of £21k and want something low mileage and 'premium' then we appear to be looking at either a Q7, Discover XS or an XC90 R Design.
I would prefer a car with roof rails for the bikes and want leather for the 'wipe clean' ability, it should be reliable, not too expensive to run and needs to look half decent too!
We have had an XC90 in the past and whilst the versatility was excellent, the build quality and reliablility was appalling - maybe we just picked a bad one though.
Thoughts?

If he had this one, he probably wouldn't care...

Can you name any seven seater that isn't technically a people carrier? I would say that the R Class is about the most non people carrier seven seater out there, at least I can't think of anything else. Do you have any suggestions?
Just check out the middle seat in the R Class ad - I wouldn't want to be sat in it for any distance. I've got a friend with an R63 version - it's one of the most hysterical cars out, especially when it temporarily 'drops' things like 911s as you're cruising along (all on a private road officer)MrC986 said:

True, but I suspect it would be fine for a kid.RedWhiteMonkey said:

This is why I love Pistonheads - I had never even heard of an R Class before!
t. The only reason to get one is if you simply MUST have 6 full size seats. Pretty much brand new Nissan X-Trail in budget - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2016...
