Belle- I would buy a CX9 in a heartbeat if it was in our budget!! I LOVE them!!

The thing with a 7 seater is the space for shopping etc. We currently don't need all the space in our wagon but will use about half the floor space for shopping. The 7 seaters I have seen have minimal space. However, they are much more practical for being able to fit more people in. So much to weigh up, still working on my shortlist. Once that's done I guess it's a matter of getting out their & checking them out & test driving!!
