Just like your purpose, I just bought a nissan serena hws for family wife + 4 year old + 1.5 year old and sometimes + sis in law + 4 year old kid. Use it monthly at least once balik kampung (over 150km), fetch my parents go jalan jalan, dinning

I do use it as daily drive as well for fetching kids to nanny, school then work

Driving experience : of course you cant expect it will be good as Sedan/SUV

Fuel consumption : It is heavy so dun give hope on FC, I can only achieve 320-420km for 100 MYR RON 95 full tank, but on highway it can do more than 500km

Practical: Full star, highly flexible for the seat configuration and space. The walkway is really convenient for the kid's mother access from the passenger seat, straight to 2nd and 3rd row when the kids make noise or need something. The tray table also make milk making job easier.

Why I not go for other MPV new Avanza/BRV with lots new features:
- Don't know when it ll launch
- price hike for new car, the price gap to nissan serena (Not latest facelift) after all discount might be diff by 10-20k
- 3rd row space quite cramp

Why not Innova
- 3rd row space quite cramp

Why not X90
- Don't know when it ll launch

Why not CX-8
it is my wish list but no budget yet, perhaps next upgrade

Why not larger C sedan
I need fetch more than 5 ppl 50% of the time and space really matter, while driving experience is something I need to sacrifice
