When you're young, you want something fast and impractical. A Ferrari 458 maybe, or perhaps a McLaren MP4-12C.
Unfortunately, you're nowhere near wealthy enough to afford such a thing, so you get yourself a small hatchback.
Then, as time ticks on, you find yourself pushing forty with a humungous mortgage and four kids. How did that happen? You need to find yourself a mahoosive people carrier with enough room for both your offspring and their friends. And, because you seem to spend all of your cash on Fisher Price activity centres and the aforementioned mortage, you need something economical as well.
So, you're left with two options. You can put the kids up for adoption and buy your dream car, or you can buy a people carrier.
So if you're pro-life, Catholic, or simply allergic to latex, these are the cars for you. They all have 7 seats, and they're all extremely frugal. So, chin up, life isn't really that bad. Click on the links below to read information and reviews on the cars.
