I don't think the Kluger will be roomy enough for your family holidays, unless you get roof bars and a cargo pod (or tow a trailer). Six people in the Kluger around town will be fine though. The Kluger's third row seats are not as capacious as the Tarago. Legroom in the Kluger's third row may be an issue on long drives if you kids are teenagers or older. So the Tarago would be better for the holidays. I drove a Tarago for a week on holidays a year ago, and I recall that the third row seat slides on rails. So you can choose the best legroom/luggage space compromise for your situation. But overall the Kluger will be more enjoyable for your daily commute. If you want to stick with Toyotas, there is also the option of the Avensis (seven seats, compared to Tarago's eight seats). Third row seats in the Avensis have more legroom than the Kluger. The third row seats have adjustable recline and individual "fold flat". The Kluger & Tarago don't have this. Very good seating flexibility! And there is heaps of luggage room behind the third row. This is because the space saver spare wheel sits outside the car beneath the front passenger seat. But, unlike the Tarago, the Avensis third row is not on rails. Plus the Avensis body shape has been around since late 2001, so they are getting a little old now. There was an Avensis upgrade around 2004 with a minor facelift and increase in engine size from 2.0L to 2.4L. I used to have a 2002 model with the 2.0L engine and it was enough for me. The Avensis looks big, but is shorter than a Camry.
