@wolfje We have a Opel Zafira minivan and we love it. It's also 7 seats. And the back 2 can go down into the floors. When you go shopping with a minivan you have few limitations. We even went to Ikea and bought furniture and transported things home that a small car couldn't handle. Just a tip. If it's manual, learn to put your foot down hard enough when going uphill and especially when you have passengers. Another tipp be carefull when you park in a parkhaus. Many people scrape big cars on pillars etc.
You would be surprised how fast you can go on german highways in a minivan 👍🥇😎
If you need anuthing for your car check aldi as they often have good quality products selling cheap eg cleaning stuff, flashlights, jumper cables, car battery chargers etc.
