    The Nissan Pulsar is basically a Spanish-built Renault Megane or "non-SUV" Nissan Qashqai. Again, a good chunk (400mm, 10%) longer than your 207.

    The sales guy did say that it's going to be difficult to get BOTH a small size car AND a larger boot - especially with more modern cars which tend to be larger than their older counterparts (or something along those lines)

    Do you use the rear seats? If not, that gives you a lot of extra cargo space.

    Generally very very rarely - but I find it fiddly to prop them up and down - hence searching for a larger boot (which also hides my big packs of multiple toilet rolls)
