We've been looking at getting a new scooby for a good while now and recently went to test drive the 330s, the wrx sti hatch and the gb270 wagon.
Problem is, we can't fit the pram etc in the boot of the scooby which may soon need it's double attachment.
There's also the issue with the length of the seat belts being a pain in the arse to get car seats in and out of as the tensioner lock comes on so easy and you can't get it to release...which isn't any use with a screaming baby!
The hatch has been ruled out. It's too smooth. There's so many reasons why it's been ruled out even though it's a lovely car. GB270 was lovely and spacious. But buying a limited edition to put two kids in the back seems like a waste of money as it would just get ruined...two toddlers? (also one of above reasons).
So now we're stuck. A Subaru doesn't seem like an option
Where did you go from here? Nothings going to be quite like a Subaru or even remotely like it but there must be something that would give some satisfaction?
We do have the other family car (my focus 1.8 tdci) but to keep the baby (s) out of the subaru isn't going to be an option due to change in circumstance.
To top it off, the budget that was available for the 330s a few months ago isn't there now as we've just bought a house.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. We need to do something in the next month. The scooby is currently for sale.
Changed priorities eh?....
Edited: to add - it would be good to be able to fit 3 car seats in the back as that's impossible with the wrx. So it needs to be quite wide.
