I've never seen, in person, a 240 wagon with the third seat, but just photos of
them. It looks like the third seat would take up the whole under-floor area
(if you know what I mean) of the cargo area. Is that the case? In my current
(and previous) 240 wagon (without the third seat) I tend to use that
under-floor compartment quite a bit, for cables, oil, tools, rope -- the usual
car stuff. Would I be giving up that space entirely if I got a wagon with the
third seat?

Thanks,
Patricia

Hi Patricia, yes, the 3rd seat stores nicely folded in that space under the
floor in the cargo area, for jumper cables and tools, you can use the space
opposite the spare tire, behind the right real wheel.

Thanks. You know, much is made of the faboo third seat feature, but I don't
really see the need. I'm sure for folks with six kids, or a couple of kids with
lots of friends, it would be great. But I've never had the need of a third
seat, and can't envision ever having the need. I think I'd just as soon have
the extra storage space.

Thanks again.

In my more ignorant days, I got a 240 estate, with the rear facing child
seats in the back, I raised the floor, saw the seats, saw the waste of space
for stowing emergency and other type goodies, the seat was removed and
thrown away the day after, sacrilege!
Years after, I discovered how much in demand that seat was. But I wasn't too
bothered coz the space was full of audio amps, power invertors, and other
more useful and fun goodies.

TTFN, Ken
