I've been a parent for a couple of years now (now have two kids) and still yet to find the perfect family car (I think).

Money no object, what would be your ultimate family car and what's the best family car that you have owned (if any)? Lets assume 2 kids and 2 adults, so that you're not "forced" to buy a 7-seater.

Is it this?



or this?



or am I completely off?

This is the closest that I have got.



Big boot, comfortable, 2.5 TD, so quick enough most of the time but still 40mpg, long fuel range, only cost 700 quid, so not too precious about it (not as fast or fun as the WRX wagon I had though) frown Thinking along these lines, the venerable Peugeot 406 diesel estate would offer most of the same qualities and probably better mpg and lower running costs?
