Can you recommend a 4x4 with side facing rear bench seats?
We want to buy a used 4x4, diesel, with inward facing rear bench seats that can be tipped up/moved for occasional sleeping in the back. Our very, very old Toyota Land Cruiser had them, but we can't find anything similar. Is there a more modern version?

Not allowed under EC safety rules. Seats have to face forwards and each seat has to be fitted with a safety belt. So a five or seven seater 4x4 SUV with fold-down seats would seem to be in order. For example, a KIA Sorento: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/kia/kia-sorento-20.../

Strong diesels including impressive 2.2-litre. Comes with seven seats. New six-speed automatic. More premium feel than previous Sorento. Great value for money.
