Advice re choosing an MPV to double as a van - Kirstiea

HI there

I wonder if anyone can advise me please? I'm looking for an MPV to buy which can be converted to a van by removing the seats. We currently have an 06 Zafira (new shape) but there isn't enough space in there when we use it for our business, mainly due to the fact that the seats aren't removable (and would be nice if there was a bigger capacity in the back) so I'm looking for an MPV which will do the job.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Would appreciate it. Have seen the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life but that seems very pricey, are there any other MPVs that have a high capacity?

Would appreciate any comments.

Thanks

Another vote for the new Doblo. Not that hideous, just quirky, and you'll never lose it in a car park! Drives like a car as well, unlike previous Doblo.

If you want a big mpv - the Hyundai i800? I presume the seats are removable, and in effect it becomes the i-Load.

Xsara Picasso - rear seats come out with ease giving a huge load area - cheap to buy too.
