Can you recommend a non-diesel seven-seater?

I'm after a seven-seater - with only one of the rear rows of seats in use - which also provides good boot space. I have a budget of £16k and would prefer not to have a diesel. What would you recommend?

We'd recommend a BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer. It's a very desirable and versatile people carrier available with a 1.5-litre petrol engine (badged the 218i). Also consider a Volkswagen Touran with the 1.4 TSI petrol engine.
