Go for a diesel mate they sell for more when it comes to moving it on and will serve you better than an underpowered petrol if your going 5 up.
Not tryin to diss the petrol model but 1.6 with 5/6 people is going to struggle.

tell the problem is thatmy insurence is going to kill me i will have to pay £25 ontop of my insurence when i do get a multipla but with a diesel the cost for a 2.0 zafia 2500.00 quid and thats no way i can afford that just imagen how much a multipla will be

so what arethe petrol ones like then and the diesel like then how much are the tyres and other things aka service and running costs thanks

Well I've owned a diesel Multi for less than a year so am no expert but I have found running costs less than my previous which was a citroen synergie. Parts for the Multi are a good deal cheaper, smaller tyres, lower insurance, good mpg generally components seem cheaper than most MPVs trouble is you will need them so far I've had new clutch, new cambelt and tenioners, new aux belt and tensioner, new bearing in rear trailing arm, new brake cable, faulty alarm removed which was the most galling main stealer charged me £150 for that. That siad when its goes it goes well, best of luck.

I just had a look on Parkers website and insurance for Multiplas is not that different from petrol to diesel: The SX is group 7 for petrol and 8 for diesel, and the ELX is 9 for petrol and 10 for diesel. The petrols are nice but people seem to generally prefer the diesels - I certainly love mine, and I've so far done 22000+ miles in 3 years in it, have yet to replace the rear tyres (the fronts were done after 20000 and oem Pirellis set me back £150), have spent less than £1000 on repairs and servicing and it's now got about 110000 on the clock. It's lovely to drive and cavernously big, and although I don't really need something this big any more I'm struggling to think what to replace it with. Maybe a Grande Punto in a year or two.
