Hi gaddisfan
Im in the market for a large family car at the moment, primarily because my Peugeot 407SW has terribly limited leg room for my over six foot teenage sons when my six foot husband is driving. The boot is not that capacious either. I narrowed my search for good legroom down to the Mondeo and Skoda Superb. The skoda drivers sport seats are not that comfortable but the rear passengers have a limo type experience so that is top of the list for my sons! Problem is new they have a six month lead time and they are both expensive (not much less than new) and difficult to find in nearly new. They don't have a rear wipe either, even though the car has a clever saloon/hatchback fifth door. We test drove a Mazda 6 and love it but the rear is not as big as the mondeo or skoda, sadly. The Mondeo has 33 inches from my drive position to the back of the back seat, the Mazda 6 has 29 inches and my Peugeot has 27. The skoda feels like it has enough room to set up home in! The Mazda and the Mondeo both have lovely big boots and I suppose the estate version has even more room. I guess for campers, cars never really have enough room and you always have to consider the joys of a top box. Good luck.
