Standard saloon car with 3 separate seats in the back?

PGL

Hi folks

The title speaks for itself. Large MPV cars such as the Citreon C4 Picasso, Opel Zafira etc have 3 separate seats in the back. However are there standard saloon cars on the market which have the same? I can't seem to find any. The reason I ask is that child no. 3 is on the way (other two kids are 7 and 4 years old), and I want to have the 3 kids comforably sitting in a row together in the back in their various child seats.

Many thanks!

There are none.

Mooooo

I think I heard someone mention you'd get 3 boosters across the back of the new 5 series, don't know how it'd do with the child car seats in

Old Peugeot 307 SW has 2+ 1 smaller seat at back. But it is not a saloon.



Edit: Missed the saloon requirement.

Whats wrong with an MPV. The Ford C-Max has 3 separate sears in the back and plenty of room plus its really good to drive and stylish as well. They can be got as a 7 seater too its called the Grand C-Max but the C-Max is the better looking car. The Grand-C-Max in red looks good do.

The middle seat in C-Max is narrower than the other two. Might not be wide enough to put a third car seat. Same story with (Grand) Scenic...

Maybe put no harm in them having a look and trying it out.

Honda FRV is the only one I can think of that has 3 individual rear seats and well as three front seats.

Hi folks.

Thanks for all the responses and sorry for the delay in responding back. By way of an update, I have a choice to make between 2 cars, both of which are the same make and model (Kia Carens), and will cost me the same money.

Car A is a 142 whereas Car B is a 151
Car A has 52,000km on the clock while Car B has 63,000km
Car A was serviced approx 5,000km ago, whereas the dealer will service Car B before I buy it
Car A has more internal and external wear and tear than Car B

If it wasn't for the high mileage, I wouldn't think twice about going for Car B.

What are peoples thoughts? i.e. is 11,000km more on the clock such a big deal considering the manufacturer's 7 year warranty will take me out to the end of 2021? Or is 63,000km simply too much mileage for a 2 year old car?

Thanks!

Absolutely newer. Cars deteriorate more with age than mileage.

There could be 2 days between those cars; without knowledge of the models, hard to give any realistic input.

I'd go with the newer, looks like it has been looked after better car. Car B
Or I'd decide based on colour

While we're being vague about it, anyone for pulling straws?

This to me would be the main point, 11,000km in difference isn't much, and it could have been nice motorway miles where as the other could be stop start town driving, it could also be vice-versa but the point is take mileage with a pinch of salt. If condition is better and your gut says it go for the newer one.

Hi folks

Thanks for all the feedback. Going with the newer car.
