sayerbloke Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Someone I know on Facebook was looking for opinions about people carriers. Paraphrasing slightly, but the status read as "If I bought a people carrier, I would buy a _____ because _____". I considered how to answer for a couple of seconds but there was, of course, only one answer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 When someone asks which people carrier I'd buy, I say I wouldn't because my life isn't over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I've seen that vehicle in the flesh at a GP. Wasn't it a Williams/Renault experiment. They even took Frank Williams out in it! Sounded amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I remember seeing it on TV back in 1995 (had to look up the date) when the World was Espace mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 If you look carefully, during one of the interior shots you can just about make out Tipex overtaking in his Galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Look closer and there is a Vivaro going over the finish line (parked up, hazards on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Whatever happened to the Espace? First to market, market leader, tech leader etc etc? Eitherway, if someone asked me about which people carrier to buy, I'd promptly tell them to feck off and buy a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 The X5 isn't too bad ....... and the RR is doing a 7 seat option from September I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I had a lift in an X6M yesterday. Oh my, they may be ugly, but they shift a bit... And that elevated driving position is superb for making progress on twisty B roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I like the higher up driving position a lot Now just need a solution on keeping all four children quiet at the same time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 They aren't really classed as people carriers - per se. They are SUVs. (IMHO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I recently looked at the XC90 as an MPV vehicle, primarily for carrying kit around in, but also one little person and a couple of grandparents from time to time. Having also had a Touareg for three years and a Range Rover for one I like the SUV drive and ride. However i dont need one that often so an estate car will do me for 99.9% of the time - or something with 4 seats and no roof.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 If you look carefully, during one of the interior shots you can just about make out Tipex overtaking in his Galaxy. I almost took the Galaxy out on track yesterday! No, seriously! However, when I realised i'd be thoroughly embarrassed by an even less suitable track vehicle, I bottled it!

Tipex Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 TDK bring the C5? Sadly not, although I dare say the lap times would have been similar to the Galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
