General Pics of adjustable boot and flat folded seats

[Doofer]

Hellcat requested some pics of the adjustable boot floor. While I was at it, I removed the seat base for the first time (see other thread), and got piccies with all the seats flattened. You could buy half of Ikea with this thing.

The boot floor can carry 75kg in its high position, or 200kg when low.

One posh builder's truck...

You probably could have paid more for the equivalent age van. The front seat back folding forward is a rare advantage.

The Croma is very decieving in that its design makes it look smalller than it really is. I mean it is as tall as a Zafira and only just squeezes in my garage (which once housed a Rover 75).

Even without the fancy fold flat seat gizmo (just put it in the fully reclined position) I have easily transported sheets of chipboard over 2.1m long and 1200mm wide.

You're right, it is a deceptively big bugger.

I got eight 3m long pipes in mine the other day, without folding any seats at all. Pushed between the two front seats from the boot, into the passenger footwell.

I could only do this as they were slightly bendy plastic waste pipe - I don't think copper pipes would have fit (without ruining them). Perhaps it might work though by doing a diagonal into the corner of the windscreen.

Is that a rare option the front seat folding flat forwards? Thanks for the photos, only just noticed them ooops!

It's only for us posh(!) folks that are prepared to pay £6k for a used top-of-the-range Prestigio. It has an extra lever at the top of the seat back (just like on a two-door car).

The feature will be noted for when we buy our next Croma... but it might have to be a left hooker to get a mk2 front and bum

I did have a look at the manual for it, and I think the front and bum are pretty much the only differences, perhaps besides the cloth on the seats.

You're pretty Croma-mad if you're prepared to sit on the dangerous side to have one. Dead happy with mine, but I wouldn't go that far.

You could always just buy a new bonnet, wings bumper and headlights. Oh, and a boot lid, back lights and bumper probably. And some red badges and different wheels. Crap idea actually.

EDIT: Think the back end's just the same actually. Prefer the old one's front personally, looks a bit Merc-like.

Imagine how many bodies you could fit in there!

Barchetta and Lancia Delta drivers sit on the wrong side, but in the Croma you have the benefit of being able to see over a lot of usual traffic.

Drove all around europe in the Bravo being wrong-sided and didn't really have any problems with being on the wrong side - with the exception of automated ticket barriers
