What's the best large estate for £7500?

What's best large estate for £7500? Must be petrol and automatic. Could also be tempted with MPVs.

Definitely not a 2005-2011 Passat. 2007-2015 Mondeo maybe, but the 2.0 EcoBoost auto was twin wet clutch Powershift and these have had as many problems as wet clutch DSGs (though not as many as dry clutch DSGs). S-Max great in theory but not brilliantly reliable. Galaxy more commodious. Don't dismiss a late W211 E Class or early S212 E Class.

Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.
