The Alfa, Passat, Rover offer no advantages over my current astra.

I was looking for a "high roof" car:

These are the options:


Meriva - £3950


Scenic - £2795


PT Cruiser - £2695


[b][u]CITROEN XSARA PICASSO - £2500[/u][/b]

I hate blue ovals, lol

and imho the meriva is out of the question aswell as the boot isnt up to much.

Fao LTI, have you seen any of the above mentioned cars in a RTA, how would you rate their safety?

Theres just something about the PT that Im drawn to.

The citroen is my 2nd choice and proberbly most practical as the PT is group12 insurance.

any other suggestions of good looking larger cars that will:

  • Carry 2 baby seats and 1 adult comfortably in the rear
  • fit a side be side rear pram in the boot
  • aswell as still have space for shopping etc
  • still have a vast array of modification options
  • provide a safe metod of transport for my family

I have just done a search "picasso" in exterior styling on ebay and it has brought back 39 results of which 38 are complete rubbish. no aftermarket grille, no lights, no bumpers or skirts the only have decent thing was a spoiler.

I agree

I wouldn't see that as a bad thing Waddi, just means it'd be more unique if modified wink

but where would I get the parts from at an affordable price.

The scenic is now the old shape scenic...
the picasso is now the old shape picasso...
The PT cruiser has been facelifted with new lights etc, but imho still looks the most up to date. ot of the above mentioned.

If anyone has any other cars I should consider, fire away.

I forgot about the focus, I like the old focus. I also like the XR range

ford these days are surprisingly very reliable... and comfortable on long journeys - and this is me speaking from travelling from perth, scotland to wirral in a fiesta - 4.5 hrs - 1 stop at carlisle... no discomfort...

focus wouldnt gie u the headroom u appear to be after but as already mentioned, the C-Max would... not sure how much boot space they have tho...

speaking of fords, bird has agree'd to get a fiesta ST as her next car - got a quote in her name before and was under £300...

fords from about 1980 to 2000 were complete shite, they have much improved over the last years tho
