    I currently drive a Holden Commodore Wagon, not the current sportswagon one but the model before 05 VZ. It is basically based on the statesmen so same in length and width. I have 3 carseats no worries.

    I have fitted a babylove capsule, safe n sound maxi rider and safe n sound hi liner booster with no worries. Then when DS grew out of capsule I had the Safe n Sound meridan in the middle (forward facing) and the maxi rider on one side and the booster on the other.

    To be honest I think you will find your statesman is one of the widest across and would best accomodate 3 seats, think the only car that is good is the Ford Territory.

    The extra length behind the front seats is a blessing in the statie, because it allows kids to get in and out in front of the other seats a bit easier, and three across would fit. Like the others have said, I don't know what you could 'upgrade' to from there, unless to a newer statie, or maybe a 4wd (and if you like the luxury thing, then probably something like a Sahara Land Cruiser or something would be more up your alley. Or a Range Rover, but we won't go there. )

    If I remember, I will ask the Man about the fuel smell. What year is it, and is it a six or eight? (In case he asks)

    As for the XL falcon being big, not really compared to the statie, just a little more stylish! But certainly bigger than a Morris, lol. Cool car.
