Fiat Doblò

The Fiat Doblò is Fiat’s pragmatic workhorse that doubles as a family companion—deceptively roomy, easy to live with and built to swallow awkward loads without drama. It won’t win style prizes, but its sensible packaging, no-nonsense character and low-stress ownership make it a very practical choice for buyers who prefer usefulness over flash.

Unfortunately Citroën isn't sold here in the Americas, otherwise I would have chosen the C5.X!

It's indeed much more expensive, but it drives brilliantly. I have the automatic — fantastic. It's a bit noisy for such an expensive car, and servicing at a Subaru dealer isn't cheap. It's certainly not economical.

On the other hand, very little breaks and it will never leave you stranded. And that space... 500 litres more is really about a 40% increase.
