Anyone have a line on a good deal for third row seats?

    In my mind, there is no such thing. The seat is only big enough for children. Do you really want to put a child in a crumple zone?

      Actually, there are pictures out there on the net showing V70s after a rear-ender. As designed, the cargo area maintained its general shape, and the crumpling actually occurs right at the C pillars. If the cargo area was a crumple zone, the feds wouldn't allow the child's 3rd row seat for sale in the US.

      Ehh, based on that logic you shouldn't put luggage back there either, as it will interfere with the energy distribution in an accident and send the luggage into the passenger compartment as projectiles.

      There's a gas tank under there too.

      If I needed full-time 7 passenger capability, I would get a minivan, but for the occasional need, it's better than letting the kids sit on the floor or ride in the cargo comparment with no seat or belt, or any of the other potentially hazardous things that people do in a pinch.
