4 kids - rear facing?

I have 4 kids. I am looking for cars which have flexible seating. For example the Renault Espace (i think) has seats that you can move around so in theory I could have two rear facing behind driver/passenger and two facing forward so they would all be in a sort of circle looking at each other. are there any other cars that I can do this with?
Thanks in advance!

mitsubishi mini bus and I guess some other vehicles the same size.

I know rear facing seats are supposed to be safer, but would you not get the problem with travel sickness? The last time I sat with my back to the driver in a large minibus sized taxi I felt dreadfully sick by the time I reached our destination.

the rearfacing seats need to be fitted on a seat that is facing forward. if that makes sense?

so any 7 seater should be fine.but i'm not sure how easy it will be reaching the kids in the rear seats unless you have something like the VW caravelle or transporter which has loads of space for getting in and out

Thanks. TBH I don't want something so big! I have TWE car seats so they can be forward facing or rear, so would be ok installed to rear face in the Espace, I think! However, the reviews about Espaces on here have put me off!!
