Hi all, I've been looking for an alternative to having my Fiat Scudo and my Mitsubishi Lancer, both vehicles are used very little, the van once or twice a week for work and the Lancer even less then that as I tend to drive my Z4 as its just Holly and I but on the odd occasion we need more than 2 or 3 seats so I'm thinking of getting rid of both and going for something multi purpose.

My issue is I can't think of anything that fits the bill. Ideally I would like something that I can fit a 3 seater sofa in the back off but still has 5 or so seats, if I need to remove them then that's fine as I don't need more than 2 seats 99% of the time.

I'm not after anything new, and don't really want to spend more than 5k but could stretch a bit more for the right vehicle. So any suggestions welcome.

It's not thrilling, but sounds like a Zafira should fit the bill.

Haha, but Zafira's are too small! Can't fit a 3 seater sofa in the back of one of those, trust me I've tried with a friends lol

Some sort of sporty looking transit without the bulkhead and a row of seats behind the fronts? VW Transporter??

Not fused about it being sporty. Just practical.

One of those Doblo things? That shape lends itself to fitting sofas in I'd imagine? Plenty of change from £5,000.

I didn't think I'd ever recommend a 2009 diesel Fiat Doblo to anyone in my life but there we go!
