7 seater cars.....


Tell me what 7 seater cars you know of or maybe you have/had

We have a 4/5 seater which we love but when we get 2 car seats in the back the middle seat wont fit my 15yr old on it. It's a 'limousine' type car which is really designed for 2 people in the back with an 'occasional' third - no good on long journeys and we plan on holidaying in the UK for a good few years.

OK - here's the thing. I HATE HATE HATE people carriers....or 'moon buses' as I call them.....so it needs to not look like a mini bus......dont want much do I....

I just saw the Toyota Verso which looks nice because it looks like a car

i have zafira 1.9 cdti, it drives like a car not a people carrier, easy to park and nippy .
even with seats at the back up i can fit a umbrella buggy in, and rosie can fit easily between two forward facing car seats,
next time i come up you'll have to take it for a spin

I think my friend has one of the Nissan Touranos which had 7 seats and my bosses wife has the Peugot 807 which I can't say I like very much.

One of the MLs I looked at last week had 2 extra seats in the boot if memory serves me correctly.

It is difficult isn't it as you say, most are butt ugly! Can highly recommend a Cayenne mind

No - I had an A Class a few years ago and I loved it! Which has extra seats?

It needs to be a decent size and weight because we also tow a caravan This is really why we need more space - I like to take a friend with us to keep DD#1 happy so even 5 proper seats wouldnt be enough.....

I think a Cayenne would tow eh Pops....

Weve got a toyota verso and its really roomy but doesnt look big.

the 2 seats at the back fold down flat if you want more boot space. we really like it and got the top range one so it doesnt look to boring, well OH who used to love his sporty fast cars doesnt mind driving it and thats saying something!

the only thing tho the extra 2 seats arent the most comfy seats in the world! theres not much leg room and our 14 year wouldnt be happy to sit in them on a long journey.

my sister got the new citroen and its huge!

The Merc ML 270CDI has 7 seats hun, might be worth a look?

And yeah, I'd say so! Bugger 5 normal seats wouldn't be enough as I think youd get two seats and have space for Em as the back is huge!
