Bought a Nissan Largo nearly 9 years ago the day we arrived in NZ, just to put us on till we had time to look properly. Still got it ! Despite regularly deciding it's time to change it, we've yet to find anything better.

Yeah if you read my post above i only posted it as it shows how the seats fold up.That particular one is a bit homosexual with the chrome wheels and price.

The Bighorn is 7 seats to, and I love it. But nowhere near as flexible as the Largo / Elgrand for space when you need it.

I would go for a VW touran, and enjoy a nicer easier to maneuver vehicle with half the running costs. Loads of room with the back seat down which properly folds completely into the floor leaving you a big high wagon space. The rear seat is proper safe seat though with 3 point belts etc. Plenty of go too from both the 2.0 Diesel or Ultra efficient 2.0 FSI Petrol even when compared to the absurdly thirsty 3.5 Elgrand.
Starting to come up for very reasonable money now too.

Love my 3.5L V6 El Grand, best work van I've ever had.

kelvin it really helps to know whats important to you in a 7 seater. Fuel economy! Size! Power! Depending on your needs would decide what 7 seater I'd suggest.-I have about 15I can think of-from a toyota Alphard (makes an el Grande look small) down to a Toyota Sienta (you can get 7 people in THAT!)

V6 Outlander. Though the people using the foldaway seats need to be under 5 ft - or have no legs.

Bighorns are pretty bad almost anything will massive step up in efficiency and performance over that!

Horses for courses. It does everything I need it to do, never breaks down and does over 650km on a tank of diesel.

Late model Honda Odyssey is the Best 7 seat people mover on the market and drives like a car. If you're looking for something with 7 seats but not a people mover, then there's heaps of SUV's you can look at.

MAZDA ! Jusr remembered, the car I hired last time I went down south had 7 seats, the back 2 cleverly hidden in the boot when not in use. Can't remember which model of Mazda it was, but it was really nice to drive and very economical. Maybe Carstauranga or Kazbanz will be able to telll us what model it might have been!

CX7 - I prefer the turbo one. Its blimmin nice to drive.
Drove up to Whangarei from tauranga today. Seemed that every single people mover was actually a Ferrari in disguise as they were the ones doing all the overtaking. And the ones with body kits. words fail me. How can some plastic around the bottom of an aerodynamic brick turn it into a SS Commodore.

of course one "biased" argument would be that even the worst people mover could out perform,outhandle and outbrake an SS comode. But as you were.
(sorry mon but ya setyourself up for that one)

No it was older than that. Might have been a Premacy, was about 2000-2002 I think.

What I don't understand is this, how do people who drive these horrid pieces of automotive impotence end up with so many kids! They must have all their sex prior to buying the vehicle, right!
