    k12 5dr boot dimensions anyone?

    The size in litres is 251 litres standard and when you move the seats forward 200mm it increases to 584. We always used a quinny zapp which folded down quite well and could get a weeks worth of shopping in it at the same time without extending the seats. The only issue you may have is that if...
