What Mini 7 Seaters (minivan/suv) do you know?
Discussion
Currently have old Chrysler Voyager (used maybe 2x a month...) & a smaller car (used daily).
Want to switch to 1car, but still need the 6-7seats occasionally.
Voyager is absolutely dreadful to use daily due to narrow streets/impossible to park due to the size/bad visibility of it, so only really used for euro trips/longer trips mainly on motorway,rest of the time it's sitting unused.
What cars do you know that have 7 seats ( don't care that they are super small and for kids only,when they are needed- they will be fine for the brief moment) yet have good visibility & ease of driving/parking , aren't huge on outside, but aren't small on inside either?
Have had a look at Toyota verso which seemed fairly good, Also I recently found the nissan qashqai have 7seaters and that car isn't very large either.
Looking at 2010-2015 models probably due to budget.
Thanks.

Don't really have a set budget just seeing what's out there,ok I have a budget to get any new car I want however that's not a very wise use of funds.
I would probably get Volvo xc60 ,however no 7seats for that one

Also depends on frequency of use of the 7 seats, in your first post you mention the Qashqai (which will be the +2 in 7 seat guise), and those two back seats pop out from the boot floor offering precious little room for anyone tbh.
If it’s rugby lads, you’d want 7 dedicated seats in a van. If it’s kids, you may also have logistics with seats to consider...

Peugeot 307SW is probably the smallest 7 seater there is. There was also a 7 seat variant of the 308SW. But the 5008 is more modern, and not much bigger than both.
Colleague at work had several 307SW’s, he had 4 kids and it worked well as a daily. Had a towbar and trailer (later caravan) for luggage for holidays. Had a fast bike for sEdited by ElectricSoup on Friday 7th June 13:41

Looking for a 7 seater myself at the moment as grandparents are staying for the summer holidays and need a bigger car temporarily that can be flogged once they leave. Issue I've found with the ones I've looked at so far is that the rear seats are not big enough for a child over about ten, and a younger child will be in a child seat - bingo, not enough room for a child seat with a child in it either. Thoughts around third row with enough "legroom" to accomodate child seats?
