Is this the best value for money car in that segment with its features within that price range? Never had a Skoda before. How would it compare with Toyota / Nissan / Volkswagen etc?

Any other good option?

How big does it need to be? How much do you need an SUV?

Following options are worth considering:
Hybrid automatics: Toyota Rav4, Toyota C-HR, Toyota Prius+, Outlander PHEV
Torque converter automatics: Peugoet 3008, 5008 (old MPV, new SUV), Citroen C4 Picasso
Double clutch automatics: Renault Kadjar, Skoda Kodiaq
CVT transmission: Nissan Quasqai, Nissan X-Trail

That's just a start... :]

Kids are growing up and getting taller each day! So I need something that would be comfy for them.

My max budget is 32,000. I prefer Toyota (or any other Japaneese or Korean cars). I dont think I could get some thing this spec for that price. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Toyota Prius+ - a 7-seater hybrid. You should be able to get a new one for 32k after pushing the salesman a bit...

Kia Niro - a hybrid as well - ~30k should suffice...

I am 6'5" and don't complain in a Corsa in the front. Don't exaggerate

They have.Check http://www.skoda.ie/finance/finance-calculator

Kodiaq is not in yet in that list. But it would be the same as other models.

I can guarantee you the Kodiaq will not have 0% finance, its a new model where supply exceeds demand. Dealers have confirmed this to me - rate for PCP on the Kodiaq is likely to be 4.9% or 5.9%
