Hi there. I have approx $6-12k to spend on a 7 seater vehicle. Can't be longer than approx 4.7m due to driveway length. I have been looking at the Toyota Wish but wondering if there are any better options out there I should be considering in that price bracket and with good reliability, safety and economical? Cheers

Hi there,
Unfortunately the smaller 7-seater vehicles within your budget will most likely be used Japanese import vehicles and which we are not able to access any specs for- so vehicle size will not be determined. The other downside of Japanese domestic vehicles is that they often lack the safety ratings or crash tests that NZ new or European vehicles have. These cars would usually be reliable and fuel economic, but safety may be a downside. A good 7-seater is the Mitsubishi Outlander, for 2006 it has a length of 4.55m. There was a model year change in 2006 and the later ones have a good Used Car safety rating. https://rightcar.govt.nz/ucsr.html?group=SUV%20-%20Medium
