What to look for in an MPV?

• Boot space: You always need to find out how much boot space you will have with the additional row of seats up when you are considering a 7 seater MPV. MPV manufacturers will often quote the boot space with the third row of seats down, so be sure to check if the boot space is enough for what you need.
• Folding and sliding seats: seats which fold completely flat as well as sliding seat can be very handy when you need a bit of extra leg room or luggage space.
• Isofix points: Make sure you get enough Isofix points, MPVs usually have three, four or in very rare cases five Isofix points.
• Sliding doors: MPVS usually have sliding doors which eliminate the risk of hitting you car door on another car when exiting the vehicle after you've parked.
