Does anyone know whether a C5 will go into the back of either a Volvo V40 or an Alfa 156 Sportwagon?

Mine was a tight fit in the back of our Volvo V40 with the rear seats flat down.

Vauxhall Zafira - with only the two seats in the front
Vauxhall Insignia - with the wheels removed (from the c5!) and only the two seats in the front  :) :)

My C5 fits in the boot of my Citroen Xantia estate with the widest seat down and the base removed, leaving room for three people. It fits in the van better though!

Hi,
For £10k today that will be worth £10k next year, can I suggest a VW T5 Kombi van?
Buy one carefully (preferably a genuine Kombi built as a Kombi by VW- not a conversion) and you too can enjoy zero depreciation.
Tip: have the cash ready and be prepared to travel quickly.
Did exactly this 3 years ago.
Remember, although a bigger vehicle than you may have thought of, most of the time it's a brick of fresh air and sooooo useful.
Nice drive too.

Regards
Cok.

Don't suppose anyone's tried a Skoda Octavia? The 2013 1.6 Diesel is currently the favourite for us when we change car next year.
