    Default Bigger car than 7 seater?!!!

    Ok so I currently drive a renault grand scenic which has done the job the last year ,, we downgraded from a trajet which we loved but was too thirsty!! One of my ad hoc mums is looking for work and would like me to take her two little ones and I know this may not happen for a while but my issue would be having not enough seats in the car I would really need 8 and probably 9 one of the days! Can anyone recommend an 8/9 seater (is there even such a thing as a 9 seater?!)

    That's exactly what I am thinking! But Don't want to turn down what is almost two full time spaces for the sake of a car space!!! Can just see me driving around in my minibus! Could hire it out at night for parties !

    My sister is also a cm and she has just bought a vw transporter which has 9 seats. It's lovely but looks massive
    Love Amanda

    I've got a Toyota Previa ( also known as an Estima). 8 seats which can go in all sorts of configurations and still space for a triple buggy in the back.
    Got mine 2 years ago for £900 on Ebay and still going strong.
    Would never get anything different now. Love it.

    I had a VW caravelle which is the same as a transporter. I changed it for a renault grand espace. I found the VW very easy to drive - not keen on parallel parking though! The reason for the change was the VW was very thirsty and the frequent short journeys were very hard on the engine.

    And is the espace an 8 seater?
