Not sure I'd be happy putting any of my family in the rear most seats of a 7 seater.

 

On some models the headrests are all but touching the rear window...

 

 

Think I'd prefer the 6 seat setup where you get two rows of three with a decent sized boot and crumple zone...

 

 

That's the main reason we looked at the Multipla and the FRV.  In the end the Honda build quality sealed the deal.

I rememver watching an old episode of fifth gear quite a while back where talked about just that..

and crashed a 7.5tonner into the back of a few.

the rear most test dummies were pretty much square into the back of the head by the front of the truck.. just the head rest betwen them

Fook that!

Have to agree with the above, we have a few Zafiras at work for crew shuttles, anything other a light shunt in the rear and someone will get crushed. I guess if they're only used occasionally for short local trips it's be ok but otherwise I'd be after a 3 x 3 layout.
