MPV: Ford Galaxy
Hugely spacious yet pretty fun to drive, the Ford Galaxy looks like great value at £4,200
The crossover/SUV surge has seen MPVs fall out of favour, which is why few manufacturers now offer one. Those that do, such as Ford, SEAT and VW, charge £350 per month for a PCP on average, which works out at £4,200 per year. Buy used, and that budget secures a 2008 Ford Galaxy 1.8 TDCi.
The recently replaced Galaxy is the best-selling MPV in the UK, which is no great surprise. It appeals with its generous standard kit, plus it's fun to drive for a car of its size. But the Ford also delivers where it matters most - it can carry seven adults in comfort and doesn't cost a fortune to run.
Also consider:
2008 Kia Sedona: Sedona is one of the most spcaious MPVS around, and its low profile means used prices are keen.
2010 Renault Scenic/Grand Scenic: Distinctive styling a pratical interior and lots of kit add up to great value.
