I want a 'nice' seven-seater...
Hi ...I want to buy a 7 seater but the 2 extra seats are for occasional use I am driving a hyundai trajet which I hate...want to drive a car not a van...any ideas considering a nissan quas +2
Our answer:
Hi Deirdre,
The Qashqai +2 isn’t a bad choice actually, but you should be aware that those boot seats really are tiny and you’ll struggle to squeeze even small kids in there. Other good options, if you’re determined to avoid an MPV, are a Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate or Volvo V70 estate with flip-up rear-facing seats in the boot.
