Disco, Volvo, X5 and I've always assumed the Q7 was one as well?

Thanks All smile

Her ex (my mate!) has a Disco so that's out wink

Q7 is a good shout but they are pricey
Another XC90 is probably in pole

Found this site which is useful : http://www.7-seater-cars.co.uk/

Other possibilities include a couple of Mitsubishis - Outlander looks possible ?

Was just about to say Outlander. Great value for money as the Elegance is well specified. Waaaaayyyy less thristy than any of the other candidates too - you need dep pcokets to run one of the Disco / Audi battleships.

Predictable 300bhp/tonne is predictable.


Oh, and to the OP - we need a few more details really. Budget? Is economy an issue? Petrol/diesel etc?

Not sure how it's predictable as I don't think I've mentioned one before.

Anyhow, they are no less reasonable to suggest than a Disco or Q7 and will cost similar to run. Loads of room, huge spec and good overall.

Had a friend who swapped a V8 Range Rover L233 for a Navigator and much preferred the Lincoln.
