Okay, I'm probably in the wrong place to ask about MPVs, but you seem like a knowledgeable bunch, so what the hell...

My 2008 Mazda 6 estate is on its last legs due to a faulty BCM, which I'm told will cost more than the car is worth to replace. I'm looking for a six (or more likely seven) seater to replace it with. Now for the tricky criteria:

1) Petrol, not diesel
2) Manual, not auto
3) Not an SUV
4) Ideally < 60k
5) No more than £12k
6) Android Auto
7) Something that won't bore me to tears

Any suggestions? I hear good things about the S-Max, but I think it might be out of my price range.

SMax (guessing it would be 1.6T if you want a manual)
Grand Cmax again 1.6T. Rearmost seats will be small.
Zafira Tourer 1.4T
Toyota corolla Verso something?
Possibly some Japanese JDM offerings?

Worth going on to AutoTrader and putting a filter on.


Not sure about the Android auto bit. May have to retrofit.

Don't laugh, but you are asking about MPV's,

Scenic. Grand scenic if you want a big one.

Every MPV will bore you to tears, but I think the 1.3 petrol has a chain not belt and they stand up to kid abuse very well.
