so I am thinking in the near future of getting a 7 seater car..mostly for when the kids are older andeach have 1 or 2 friends over...be easy to transport an extra 2-4 extra people.
my husband doesnt think this is necessary and suggest just getting a station wagon for the extra bootspace but I am sure that the seats in the back of 7 seaters fold down? he said if the kids do have a friend each have 3 in the back and oldest in the front..but I dont like the idea of a child under the age of 12 being in the front. so those of you with 7 seaters what do you have....preferablly want one that doesnt look like a "people mover" no offence to those that do have them. and how much boot space do they have? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I have an odyssey and the back does fold down. I love the people movers or man van as my DH jokes about it when he has to drive it. Now that my kids are getting older though I am thinking of getting a SUV with the 7 seater option in the boot. I quite like the holden captiva. Toyota landcruiser or prado's are nice but expensive and hold their value alot so even second hand they are pricey. |

I would look at SUVs.
It depends on your budget but Mitsubishi Challenger have a 7 seater option although I haven't seen that many of them. Holden Captiva Ford Territory Hyundai Sante Fe, the newer ones are coming out with 7 seater and I have seen one or two older ones. Dodge Journey - not an SUV but kind of looks like one although I don't personally think they are that nice to drive. I have driven all of these and we've settled on the Territory, now we just have to agree on the colour!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| My cousin has a nissan mistral with extra seats in the boot space. The back seats are always folded down unless they are needed |
