  Hi All,  Found myself with a requirement for a 7 seater (well, 6 plus a huge buggy) and after looking at older threads still couldn't find much.  Looking around, the Honda FR-V is a little out of the price range, along with the S-Max/Galaxy. Its for work purposes too so

  , does it really make much difference? As an example, I remember following a friend of mine on some glorious rural roads in the middle of nowhere in Scotland.
