Re: What seven seater car?
I haven't seen a 7 seat car that is good for much more more than occasional short use, i.e. taking six small children for a bowling party.
If you want to take adults, luggage or make longer journeys then a 9 seater van will work much better, probably lwb.

There's a long Renault (i forget the name) that's a genuine 7 adult seater. Metz had one for a while and iirc rated it.Mussels wrote: Sun May 14, 2023 9:33 am I haven't seen a 7 seat car that is good for much more more than occasional short use, i.e. taking six small children for a bowling party.

Re: What seven seater car?
Might have been. We went up to the Lakes in it once, at least 7 adults with a weekend's worth of luggage (wedding weekend iirc). Plenty of space.Taipan wrote: Mon May 15, 2023 1:30 pmGrand Espace?Rockburner wrote: Sun May 14, 2023 11:03 amThere's a long Renault (i forget the name) that's a genuine 7 adult seater.

Re: What seven seater car?
my viano 3.0
just done 2k miles to the outer Hebrides and back and it was awesome. love it. expensive tax and a bit juicy if you boot it but its got lots of power and now ive got 17" wheels and all terrains on it it rides nice too.

Re: What seven seater car?
Vito/Viano is a good shout, drive really well, comfortable. LWB and XLWB give you 7 full sized seats and luggage space, seating options are really flexivle too. They also come with a 2.2 diesel engine which is much cheaper to tax and run than the 3.0, and a remap can give 160-180 bhp

Re: What seven seater car?
I was thinking about an Elgrand but they don't have much boot space with all the seats in use.
