I'm thinking a Toyota Previa but wonder if there is a better alternative...

And it has a decent payload, which could be handy depending on the size of the people At £500 the a/c won't work, so I'd recommend an ELX (only two trim levels, ELX being the top one) as you get twin tilting glass sunroofs.

That old Citroen/Peugeot/fiat people carrier thing from the late 90s.

I was thinking of the Previa because of its internal space. The Multipla looks good and is certainly better on fuel, but the Previa has so much space I'm finding it hard to look elsewhere.

You're 2 days late!
You could have bought my limo!
(see thread in reader's cars)
There seem to be others on the market though. Go for a big engine one if possible.

A transit and some seats from a Volvo bolted in the back?

Couple of friends of mine have a multipla and apparently the fuel consumption sucks, and their other car is a chrysler 300c (diesel, but still), the fiat supposedly does around 24 mpg

We won't be buying it until next year but keen to sign up now to get the discount (saves £300 for the 6 of us). I considered a Limo but I thought the people carrier would have more room and easier to find in budget

I wouldn't count on the people carriers being more practical. Not many will take 6 adults in comfort, and if they do you're usually left with no load space.
They're certainly easier to find though!

Mixed driving gave about 45mpg-ish. There is something wrong with your friend's car, or their driving style. Or they have the petrol one.

They're certainly easier to find though! Multipla has 6 individual, full sized seats, all individually adjustable. You can choose to mount them with a bigger boot or more legroom. I'm 6ft and never had a problem with headroom.
