Which estates have seven seats?
Can you recommend any estate car (not SUV or MPV) that can seat seven?

Hi Paul,
I am not sure if you want a new car or a used car. In terms of a new car, there aren't all that many seven seat estates anymore. First up is the Peugeot 308 SW, which is available with a third row of seats. However, it doesn't seem to be offered on Peugeot's online price list anymore - since the 3008 arrived it doesn't really have a large audience. We did contact Peugeot though and if you do want a 308 SW with seven seats the car is available on special order. A 1.6 HDi 308 SW seven seater will cost from €25,725 plus delivery and a 2.0 HDi will cost from €28,150.
But you can have a 2008 307 SW model for very little money. This one is just €9,990 for a 1.6-litre diesel.
Mercedes-Benz still does a seven-seat option for the E-Class Estate, but the third row is best suited to kids. That range starts at €46,500 before you start putting in optional extras.
Here is a quite nice 2004 model though: low mileage, a nice 2.7-litre diesel engine and it is a decent price too.
Add more detail in the comment box below if you'd like to know more.
Thanks a lot.
