have a look on the bay for CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER, and put in stow & go, looked at one last night, pulled at tesco's and there was one next to us, so asked the guy about it and we couldn't believe the room you get, because it's a stow & go, the seats fold into the floor so masses of room for carting gear about, but where the seats fold down into floor you can use it as storage, and at the rear you could get a suit case and a folding wheel chair in, no problem at all, so we will be looking at buying one in the near future,

i fancy this one

They are superb to ride and drive in too

My missus asked for a hire care from work and we had it over the weekend. She asked for a focus but as they were short of them she was given a free upgrade to one of these.

Apart from the fact it was massive to park , couldnt fault it.

Not a reason to buy a car but because the interior is big and the sound system a branded quality one youll enjoy the music on the go, its like a mini concert hall

One of my colleagues at work traded a zafira in for one of these. Their only regret was that they hadnt done it years ago.

i have looked at several grand voyagers, but was put off because as pete they dont give much room for luggage etc (when seating 7 people) but last night changed my views to be honest, this stow & go model is just what we need, seeing mum needs a wheel chair now, and it will fit at the rear and with some luggage, i think they also have a 10/12 speaker stereo system as well, and for the size they fairly economicle as well, we will definately be looking at some more in the near future.
