No more babies here so the capsule isn't an issue, i am 5'11 and actually found the captiva quite roomy when i sat in it but with that said i didn't have the carseats in, anything is an improvement size wise compaired to a suparu impreza wagon though for someone of my height with 2 kids.

Re: the boot space all the ones we've looked at basically have no room once the back seats are up, but that doesn't bother us, it wont be very often that we have all of them up.

Personally i love the prado but we can't find a manual diesel which would be the best option and were looking at cars that are already say 5yrs old just to get within our price range. i love love love them though so we are just keeping our options open.

minniemouse - what do you like best about the captiva? is there plenty of space, does an adult fit b/w the carseats?
