A new family car
I am hunting for the used car for my family, I have three young children so need a car that fits three comfortably across the back.
I currently own a C-MAX and originally started looking as I get stuck in the snow every winter and can't get the children to school! I would like a large boot and also ideally a couple of extra seats in the back/boot for when I am transporting extra children. I have quite a narrow drive so nothing wider than a C-MAX. I would also like it be as economical to run as possible. I have looked so far at the Honda CR-V, which I like, but it doesn't offer me any flexibility with extra seats, and the Nissan Qashqai which did give me a couple of extra seats but felt very narrow across the back for the 3 children.

Peugeot 307 or 308 SW with a set of winter tyres for winter.
This has three separate seats across the back, each with ISOFIX. Plus the possibility of one or two further seats in the load deck.

Makes sense of the 307. Up to seven forward-facing seats. Good to drive. Decent diesels.
