Insert slammed multivan here!

Keep it German. Kids could go in the back.

Actually looking into a caddy life, golf front multi van back, best of both worlds.

I grew up cruising around in a bay window dual cab Kombi (With opening rear side windows!

).

Thems were the days. My parent's cars consisted of a bay window dual cab, '69 beetle and '62 Karmann Ghia.

I recommend the Caddys, Alex. But I would suggest manual if I was you.. The DSGs have been chewing up from what I hear.

Yup, I've been getting a lot of people saying the DSG and tiptronics of VAG cars are all lunching themselves nowadays at my work too.

Just try out the ride in the back - leaf rear might be ok for crates but is it ok for kids? I have no idea, but often wondered what it would be like.

Dunno if it helps, but i had a KE55 corolla which has leaf springs, i had 1 leaf added to each pack and lowered 3" and it rode fine. Was more comfy in back then the front

Dont know if that applies to a Caddy....
