Coming Soon: People Mover Comparison

Family Guy

It’d be good if you included either or both the Citroen C4 Picasso and Peugeot 308 SW in your comparison as I believe that represent very refreshing alternatives to this collection of ho-hum moving lunchboxes that you have here.

Hi Family Guy,

As stated the cars in this review were selected for representing the top selling vehicles in their category.

More specifically (at the time the vehicles were booked) they placed 1,2,3,4 and 6 out of the top six selling people movers according to VFACTS.

Ideally we would have loved to do every car in the category in such a comparison but se la vie.

If however you’d like to have a read about the Peugeot 308 SW we can help you out. Have a look at our first steer as follows: http://www.caradvice.com.au/15658/2008-peugeot-308-touring-first-steer/

Hope this helps, Matt.

More of this please guys and girls it is really useful information to us family buyers and often hard to find elsewhere. I look forward to the read. Thanks.

hasn’t the mazda MPV been discontinued ages ago in Australia? We don’t have the new generation Mazda MPV / Mazda 8.

That Tarago in the picture isn’t the latest model. There has been a facelift since then (I think it is simply cosmetic though, not sure though).

Anyways, just thought I’d let you know.

The comparison info you put together in 2009 was great, but with new laws on child restraints, one of the big things that reviews of 7 seaters never seem to include is info on child restraint points. eg a friend just bought an odyssey but if you need child restraints in both the second and third row of seats, you end up with straps passing across the top of the third row making it awkward to climb in and also across the cargo area, limiting space (eg for prams!) – not ideal!
it would be great if your next review took into account how easily child restraints are accommodated (and top marks please to any vehicles putting the restraint points on the back of the seat, which takes up the least room of all). also take into account the size of the cargo area when all rows of seats are in use having particular regard to ease to accommodate a variety of prams! (eg ford territory can probably take a small stroller in the back when all seats are up, but not your typical newborn style stroller).

Anybody know of a people mover for 9 that holds a pram and some groceries when the last seats aren’t folded up?
