I need your recommendations on seven seater cars please.

My DP has three children and we're hoping to TTC next year so we will need a seven seater.

I'll sell my car but I'd like some recommendations from those that drive a seven seater.

Hated the Picasso. We now have a 12 year old discover 3 and I love it!

Has anyone had a BMW Grand Tourer? I like the look of those.

I love my Landrover discovery but it does guzzle petrol so not for everyone. The additional 2 seats in the back genuinely are roomy enough for adults though which was important to me.

Ford S-Max is good
Neighbour of mine is on his second Toyota Verso, he seems to really rate them
Mazda 5
If money's no object, the Lexus RX L is a thing of beauty
Hyundai Santa Fe if you're into SUVs
A mate of my brother has a Subaru Tribeca B9. Hideous, hideous looking thing on the outside, but lovely on the inside. It's old (2007) but it's been extremely reliable. The SE7 trim level is the 7-seater

Love my Mazda 5. Super reliable and spacious

Look for something that has 7 full seats. Lots of 7 seaters don't.

Can't recommend the VW Sharan enough. I loved mine, sadly I wrote it off. Sad

Replaced with a Citroen Grand Picasso. It was fine but not the same. 7 full seats in both.

I love my Grande Picasso which has 7 full sized seats and can easily fit x3 car seats across the middle row. If I had a bit more money to spend then I'd have gone for a Seat Alhambra though.

We have / had a Ford S-Max. The 6th and 7th seats are full size and you can fit 3 car seats / boosters in the middle row. Even with 7 seats up we could squeeze in our two labs (one at front passenger footwell and one in boot). I say 'had' as some moron has just reversed into it and we are waiting to hear if it's been written off. Which I will be really pissed off about. Although it's good for space though, it did come up with some electrical faults that were really annoying. And it felt distinctly pedestrian. And middle aged. But apart from that, a great car Grin
