  • PT Cruise replacement 22 Sep 2007 (Forum)
    I don't know if a petrol Berlingo would be OK or not ? My suggestions are: ? Citroen C4 Picasso or, original Xsara Picasso. ? Ford C-Max, possibly S-Max ? Maybe, a SEAT Altea (XL) not sure if it is raised enough. ? VW Touran ? Nissan Cashcow ? At a push a Renault Scenic or Vauxhall Zafira though, he may not remain a friend if I recommend either of these.
