I definitely downsized from a Doblo Maxi long wheel base with room for a bed or aid for children moving house. when the rear seating was tumbled. I also ran an Ibiza which was under powered.
Do i miss the size? No. I rarely used the space in the Doblo, with its dual 12v sockets inc one in the boot. I prefer being able to book into hotels with small car parks / spaces and not coming unstuck . The turning circle is also miles better and much more grunt than a non turbo 1.4 petrol Ibiza.
For me, this SUV demands many compromises which you either research and accept or not buy at all. If I still had three young children I would have stayed with the Doblo or similar and just slung the Ibiza. The Arona has loads of space for my holidays, two up. Poor choice if folk also seated behind, which knackers your options. So it can be a bad / good choice, IMHO. Hope you enjoy yours.
