7 Seater

wonder_lander · 10 Mar 2006 at 08:35

This isn't for me but here's the breif:

Current car X5 3.0d Sport
2 Adults
2 Teenagers and a 7 year old

Possibility of an addition in the near future so time to look for a new car.

7 seats seems like the way to go....Audi Q7 4.2 S Line is top of the list. Any other recommendations?

This will be the family wagon, each adult has their own "other" car for single occupancy driving!

Volvo XC-90 - better than the Q7 according to top gear and is nicer looking imho.

Those where the two the ones I could think of although I can't remember exactly what clarkson had to say about them in sumamry!

Well clarkson has the XC-90, its better offroad and cheaper i think but not as powerfull as the quattro.

Go one step further, vasectomy + adoption of existing children = Lotus Exige

.

Edit: From what I've seen of the XC-90, I'm a big fan. It's very competent in all areas and completely unpretentious and understated for an SUV.

Just get some roof racks

How about a Discovery 3? Though the XC90 does look a generally nicer car I think, and probably better on fuel etc.

Didnt clarkson test all of them and then actually buy his Wife an XC-90?

That'd be good enough for me, they are all going to be alright at the end of the day.

Based upon the fact money doesn't seem to be a massive problem I'd say a fully loaded XC90 or as mentioned a Landy Disco. The Disco is deffo a handsome beast when you see one up close.

I know the Q7 is coming out but I think the Audi Allroad is getting a revamp and can be had as a 7 seater.
