Van-like appearance, rearmost seat difficult to remove, other people carriers are more user-friendly inside
Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life (08-10) rivals
Overview
It might be based on a humble van, but the Caddy Maxi Life has all the credentials it needs to win recognition as a great family car. As the name suggests it’s based on the Caddy van which means it’s able to offer plenty of room for seven – along with all their luggage – and is good value for money too. An excellent reputation for quality and a refined ride make the Caddy Maxi Life a strong alternative to traditional people carriers, especially as it is available with a choice of diesel engines and manual or semi-automatic gearboxes.
However, the rear seats aren’t as flexible or as user-friendly as other people carriers and a new buy, it looks quite expensive.
