    depends on a few factors

    How much do you have to spend?
    How big does this 7 seater need to be?
    Do you need a diesel engine?
    Is the age of the car important to you?
    Do you need 7 seats AND a boot?

    the nicest 7 seater i have drove is a ford galaxy! i found that others such as hyundai and seat are sluggish and heavy to drive! not nice at all...

    From personal experience I have had two Seat Alhambras dsl, first one bought new in 99 90bhp and is still in the family. Only ever been in the garage for service, brilliant car.
    Bought 05dsl 130bhp new and same story, great car, just a bit hard on front tyres.
    Have 5 kids, so being able to take out all the seats for cleaning is a big advantage. Good fuel consumption but not a lot of space behind the 3rd row of seats, but seats not in use can be removed for extra space.

    Based on what you've said my recommendation would be the Mitsubishi Grandis or Ford Galaxy. the Grandis comes with either a 2.4 MIVEC engine (not recommended!) or the 2.0 TDI engine from the new VW Passat mated to a 6 speed gearbox. it has 7 seats and a boot, and they generally come very well equipped.

    The Galaxy tends to be more expensive, and for your budget you're looking at the old model, in which case the SEAT Alhambra and VW Sharan are also worth a look.
