If so what do you lug them about in? 3Rd one on the way(kid), need to punt the Scoob and get something for her mainly,
needs to be under 4 k £ ...grudge spending more cause she treats a car like a council tip !!
Able to seat a 3/7and new born so 2 kids seats and a booster ...all in the back.
3 * 3 point belts.
No people Carriers.

Would like a Forester but not many up hear in my budget.

Any input would be great guys.

Mitsuibishi Space wagon

 

My mum had an 18 month old and then had twins so suffered the same problem. Her solution was an Austin Ambassador. Seriously. You might have trouble finding a good one, but if it gets treated like crap you can just throw it away!

 

We use either the 22B or an Audi A3 Sportback. Getting 3 kids seats in the back is getting harded in the newer cars which cater mainly for 2 comfortably in the back. We had a Forester XT and it didn't work with 3 in the back. An older Escort or Astra would work I'm sure..or a Mondeo? Whats wrong with the scoob? No rear 3 point?

Old Fart, no 3 * 3points in the back of my Scoob ,older Wrx ,anyway she and the kids would just trash it and break my heart, would rather get rid of it.
what about a legacy do they have 3 full belts in the rear??

Thought a Forester would seat 3 kids in the rear.

 

I think the problem is the £4k..that's a pretty old Jap car and they didn't place much importance on the 3rd 3pointer then. Still think a Vaux or Ford is best bet.

The Space Wagon in this country was ****e it is true; but in Japan its called a Chariot and a lot of them have a 4G63 Evo engine and 4 wheel drive. The shorter wheelbase version is called an RVR, the N23WG Super Sportsgear has an Evo engine too and they cost **** all.

The Sportsgear is a little like a people carrier in that it has one rear door on the kerb side and a lot of room but it looks more like an SUV; AND IT GOES LIKE A LANCER EVOLUTION FFS !

what about impreza wagon,i've got 3 kids 5,3 and 1 plenty room in boot for buggy and room in back for 3 kids

 

MY03 wagon is tight with three kids- whilst the back seat is ok the boot is crap due to the rake of the rear screen.

How about a turbo legacy? Should get a nice one for that budget, and they're massive!

 

Keep the scoob! You'll only pine for it again. Three kids isn't a problem!

 

I bought a Toyota Estima 8 seater (2.2TD) when my family out-grew the Scoob (I kept the scoob as my toy though )

Absolute bargain at the £4250 I paid for it, 8 seats, dual air-con, electric everything.

 

i have three kids and still got my scoob they love it and loads of room in the boot for buggies

 

The Scoob is my toy, she/kids has a old Escort (m reg) ,i need to sell the Scoob to raise the cash pronto.
The plan is to buy an old 200sx with the change after we've bought a family bus
This is my 3rd Scooby and was thinkin of moving on to something else exciting till she hit me with news of another arrival come summertime,didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Think I'll suss out some Legacy's. What year roughly does a Scooby start having 3 full belts in the back ?
