Peugeot 807 - A proper MPV

Most people might buy an MPV to show off but I bought my Peugeot 807 because I really need the space. Plus I think the sliding doors are cool.

Seriously though, you try lugging around four kids, the wife, a week's shopping and a set of clubs (I have to have them in the boot at all times you never know when you'll fancy a round) in a Nissan Almera. It's not going to happen. So instead of strapping a kid to the roof or trying to convince my wife to finally take her driving test I thought I'd invest in one of these.

It was well worth it - the amount of extra space has pretty much transformed my life! It's so comfortable, too - the kids love it. If all the seats were taken up I think I'd probably have to leave the golf stuff at home but it's fine for a large family like mine.

Any complaints? Well I wish I'd bought the Peugeot 807 diesel as the mpg is far better apparently and the engine has a real punch.

Mine can struggle on the motorways. But other than that the Peugeot 807 was a really worthy investment.
