We haven't tried that one yet - the main problem with all cars so far is space. At 6'5" the seat is always fully back and there needs to be space for the oldies.

Wow - just done the homework on Autotrader. Very tidy looking motor, amost as fast as our Volvo V70 2.5 (Petrol) Turbo but with substantially better mpg. We will test one after our hols and fingers crossed we fit in.

Personaly I'd buy a plastic tray and 2 housbricks ;)
Range Rover Red:
I have a 1996 Mondeo hatchback (petrol engine so I can't comment on diesel MPG). It has carried 5 adults in rather cosy comfort on more than one occasion - RRB is nearly 6ft 4 - and three large-ish dogs in the boot. I have had no reliability issues in the six years I have had it apart from the heated screen not working very well.
I don't know what the newer ones are like space wise but they may well be worth a look. The cars are bigger overall than mine so I can't really see the passenger compartment being any smaller. A couple of friends have the next-to-newest model estates and are very happy with them - they have three dogs apiece and tow caravans with them. I think the newer diesels are about £150 to tax, maybe less.
I don't know how much help this will be, but whatever you decide, I hope you get a good 'un!
