Hyundai Staria

The Staria solves the ordinary airport problem in one vehicle: seven people and seven cases, with nothing riding on a lap. The sliding doors matter more than they sound — at a hotel portico with cars either side they slide back along the flank instead of swinging into the paintwork beside you.

The floor is low and the roof is tall, so you step in rather than fold in, and the third row is a real row rather than a pair of jump seats. It is the car every tour and transfer price buys: seven of you travel for the figure two of you would pay.
