That is really nice.  :y I bet its pure comfort inside. as I get older I really couldn't care less about performance.... comfort and toys is what I want!  ;D

3 rows of seats with 2 doors  ??? are the last set of 2 seats in the boot then....then they fold right down if boot needed?

It is pretty comfy, and although isn't too bad in the corners for a 2.3 tonne car you can't really hurry it too much, though mine has airmatic (air) suspension which gives soggy, medium & firm suspension.

Yes, the very last row of seat is in the boot area. It makes a better 4 seater estate than it does a 6 seater as far as carrying stuff. They fold flat into the floor, hence the boot floor is quite high compared to most estate cars.

This shows the seats up & down http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-Benz-R-Class-320L-SAT-NAV-LWB-BLUETOOTH-DIESEL-AUTOMATIC-2006-06-/261181256066?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3ccf9db182

That's pretty standard set up for an MPV but usually in an estate the rear seats are rear facing, typically though not luggage room if all seats are in use, even in my Citroen C4 Grand Picasso that I had, lots of passenger space but no boot if all 7 seats in use..... ;) ;)

I'm not used to mpv's but that seems like masses of room especially when seating 6  :y :y and obviously a conventional 4 + boot if needed. I really like that. I bet those seats are very comfy  8) 8) 8)

My local Vx dealer wants ninety minutes labour to change the discs and pads on a 2003 Corsa.

So that's £72 x 1.5 hours = £108. :(

I'm going to have a go myself when the weather turns. :y

The said Vx dealer sold me the wrong ones. Now exchanged for the correct vented discs. :y
