Which MPV features fold-flat rear seats?
I have a 2003 Zafira, which I’ve owned from new. It has been quite reliable and, apart from the price, I would change it for a new one. I have recently retired and so now go fishing quite often. My rods are 13-feet long and break into half, and in my present Zafira I can fit these in by folding the front passenger seat back down and releasing one lever, and the same with the rear seat (still leaving room for a passenger behind the driver). However the new model does not have this feature. Are there any similar size cars with a front (and rear) passenger seat that folds flat with ease, and not by winding the seat back angle knob that takes forever?

I think you might find that some models of Citroen Berlingo Multispace and Peugeot Partner Tepee have this feature. The smaller Citroen Nemo Multispace and Peugeot Bipper kombi can be ordered with a passenger seat that folds into the floor.
