Looking at these as a replacement for our A4 avant. It will be our main family car doing the weekend work and for the wife to use for work. We have 2 boys (4 and 2) needless to say two bulky car seats to go in the back. Would ideally like space for a third person in the back with the child seats in place.

The Civic Tourer offers some fantastic luggage space and rear seat movement, but after looking at one in the showroom yesterday, actual seating room (width) didn't look that great. The boot was huge though.

The CR-V on the other hand gave an impression of far more seating space for rear occupants with the higher roof and more leg room, but a quick measure of the seat bench showed that it was similar to that of the Civic?

Anybody with experience of these two cars and rear seat capacity with child seats?
