Peugeot 5008

The Peugeot 5008 blends Peugeot's sharp design with the space and versatility families actually need, wrapping clever packaging and a premium-feeling cabin in a crisp, SUV-like silhouette. It drives with more poise than you'd expect from a people carrier, serves up practical touches and flexible seating for everyday chaos, and still looks good when parked outside the school gates.

The family car par excellence: a big boot, three equal and adjustable seats in the second row, two extra easily accessible seats, an engine that’s more than adequate... everything is excellent except for the slightly high price.

Subaru Forester

The Subaru Forester is a practical all-rounder that quietly does everything right, with roomy comfort, excellent visibility and a real fondness for weekend adventures off the beaten path. It won't set your pulse racing like a sports car, but for buyers who prize reliability, safety and sensible charm, it's a brilliantly steady companion with a cheeky streak.

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.
