Well it looks like we are going to have to get a new car thanks to the drunken idiot who decided last night to vandalise mine. It was getting to the point where it neede changing any way but this is just the final straw. The idiot kicked off the wing mirror then held on to the wires and swung the broken wing mirror repeatedly into the car and only stopped when the police arrested him (we have no idea who he is it wasn't anything personal he was just drunk and thought it would be fun from what the police could tell last night and this morning he remembers none of it!)

So what cars can you reccomend that has space for 2 adults (hubby is 6'5'' so leg room is a must), one quickly growning toddler and an ever quicker growing bullmastiff?

My OH is 6ft 4 and he has bernese, he swears by VW Sharan or Seat Alhambra - they are both basically the same car and have plenty leg / head room for him and plenty of room for the big dogs

I agree, any of the bigger people carriers would fit the bill. If you;re talking about older second hand than the Fiat Ulysse tends to be a bit cheaper than the others, I've had two and they've both been great, its basically a Citroen Synergie. Chrysler voyager, Renault espace are both good too.
