6 or 7 seater - Ricky13

I am in a position where I need to have a car that can seat 6 (for the school run), but still have the flexibility and loadspace for normal family motoring (2 adults + 3 kids + luggage, and trips to the tip with a bootful of garden rubbish!).

I don't want a large MPV (i.e. Galaxy/Sharan/Alhambra) and am looking at the Volvo 850/V70 (Yes I'm turning into my Dad!!) with 2 seats in the boot, or the Peugeot 406 with 2 in the boot.

Is the Volvo worth the extra money (or higher mileage at the same price)?

Are there any alternatives? (I like the Omega estate for value for money and size - but is there a 7 seat version, perhaps there is an after-market conversion available?)

Any advice/tips gratefully received.

Rick
