Renault Espace (2002 - 2012 )  

Full of kit, comfortable and refined. Very versatile seven-seat layout. Excellent crash test rating.

Not very agile on country roads. Diesels can give trouble. Transmission problems. UK sales ended January 2012.

Introduction

The best thing about the Renault Espace is the view.

You sit behind a panoramic windscreen, broken only by two slim screen pillars. (The strength is in the pillars behind them.) And you look out over the most stylish instrument display of any car you can buy.
