    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.

    Hi Patricia, yes, the 3rd seat stores nicely folded in that space under the
    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.

  4. 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
