    If you're filling it to capacity on a regular basis, I think the Zafira seats are a bit flimsy, to be honest. I've had an older Galaxy, an Espace and now a C8, which all have proper seats. I personally wouldn't choose a car with the fold-down type seats. And the Zafira rear seats are right up against the back window. Also, if you have child seats to put in, then the 2/1 split on the middle row could be a pain.

    I think I'd go for a Sharan if I were buying now (if they still have the full seats, and not the foldy ones that the Galaxy now has).

    I also like the look of the Hyundai i80, but have no idea what the reviews are like, or how well they hold their value, etc.

    had a look at the toyota verso on the internet - I like the reliability of toyotas but it says that the back 2 seats are very small. Anyone had any experience of this car?
  • Surely its got to be a S-max?
    Went shoplifting at the Disneystore today.

    Got a huge Buzz out of it.

    The seats in question are a bit on the small side for adults on a long journey but perfectly adequate for children or short journeys but the benefit is a smaller more manageable sized car around town.
    It is the vehicle you should be looking at buying in my opinion.:)
