seven seater cars. Anyone any experience of the new Nissan X-Trail?

Does anyone have any experience of seven-seater cars? My two are quite young, but I need the extra seats in the back for my nieces and nephews - 9-16 years old. I love the new Nissan X-Trail - www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/nissan/x_trail/suv/video#video - but the women in the video makes it look like quite a squeeze. I'm loathed to buy something like the Ford S-MAX, but thinking there may be no alternative.

No. But I love my C4 Grand picasso - which is a 7 seater. We don't often use the extra 2 seats in the very back. But one of the main reasons for chosing it, is that the three seats in the back are full sized seats. i.e. not two seats with a 'bench' as the centre seat.

Also is very spacious inside - height and leg room and quite economical too.
