Car for 3 children - KJP 123

Hi all. Some advice and opinions please.

My daughter has 3 children, 5, 7 and new born so wants a car with 3 Isoflex seats. The Citroen C4 Grand Picasso (to 2018) and Citroen Grand Space (2018 on) appeals as the second row of seats has 3 Isoflex.

She lives in France so there are advantages to a French car; servicing and spares.

Most of her journeys are short so a Diesel would seem inadvisable but it does not seem to have caused problems to other people she knows doing the same thing. The petrol engine seems to be the 1.2 Puretech 130. She does not mind a manual or auto and the Eat6 or Eat8 autos seem reliable.

So opinions and alternative suggestions please.

Modern diesels aren't recommended for short journeys. The Puretech has a reputation for chewing cambelts and blocking the oil strainer.

How lucky do you feel?
