Renault Espace
The original and still one of the best.
The Espace combines some executive levels of equipment and comfort with a child-friendly interior that will carry seven plus some luggage. It's very swish, and carries a certain grandeur with it that other mainstream offerings try, but ultimately fail, to do so.
The diesels are the best day-to-day, though the V6 petrol is surprisingly swift. It's a school run bus with style.
