7-seater, any good????

Post by sramsay » Thu Apr 12, 2012 12:18 pm

It's not so much the leg room but the fact the 3rd row seats are only about 10 inches of the floor, so for someone tall, it feels like you're sitting on a kiddies chair, as your knees are very high.

Adequate for taking your mates for a short trip to the pub though ;-)

Isn't he a little trooper eh..... :thumbsup: Good find Sanj

Those look less comfortable than the airline crew seat I came back from Thailand on once. 12 hours and a very numb backside :oops:

Someone rammed the aircraft we should have been on with a toilet truck at Al Ain, and the replacement aircraft didn't have enough seats. I got a jump seat......never again!

This is definitely a 5 + 2 I think they call it!

Good for occasional use only. But still worth it for the flexibility. Otherwise buy a Q7 I suppose.

How do you get them?

I mean the timing. I'm lucky if I see one with the naked eye let alone one with the camera!!!!

Great shots btw, :thumbsup:

Cheers.. :)

Expensive EOS cameras and lenses, very hard work, huge memory cards an a LOT of patience. Storms last about two hours and I may take 500 shots to get 5. Mrs X5Sport has caught 'the bug' (no not THAT kind of bug DM29!) and is learning to get them too. Oh and we can print pictures for you at up to A1. Got my own Canon Professional Photo printers..... :thumbsup:
