I hope that you find the perfect car for you it's a nightmare trying to find a huge family car with boot space
Have just discovered that you can remove the seating in the back row with a spanner !! So you could create more space by just removing the single rear seat permanently if you dont think you will ever need it and still have spare seat

Thankyou once again. Very helpful.

It certainly seems to tick every box as being the most suitable towcar for us.

We shall see what the weekend brings. We change our minds in this house like the weather!

Thanks again.

Will let you know what we decide.

We've seen the i800 today and can see why you suggest it. It's huge. Soooo much space for people and everything else, but it wasn't for us really, so we've decided on the vw transporter kombi. (I think!!!)

Just need to clarify the finances and we can get it sorted.

Thank you so much for your help, advice and input along the way. It's very much appreciated.
