After having our third little'un in February, I started looking for something with plenty of room in the back and from the get-go people carriers were out.
Rear bench space was key so did a bit of homework and found very few cars had enough room for 3 car seats.
Anyway, this is what I dove 800 odd miles (and managed to get spotted by Jenk on the way down) for and am very happy with it.
Shes a 4.6IS X5 with tiptronic box, sat nav, tv,climatronic, 20" 315/35 profile tyres and 340bhp... for now!
Managed an almost respectable 25mpg on the return trip from Surrey to Belfast via Holyhead and Dublin.
Im sorry to see the Cupra go but if it had to go, this has been worth the change, as I said, people carriers were never going to give any thrills in comparison.
