[QUOTE="phil d, post: 482249, member: 27126"] I used a Xsara Picasso for a good few years and it was great, you can pull out the back seats and you have a flat bed, just like a van, you can do some really good things with one storage wise, a good one is to make a bracket to attach behind the front seats and fix a black roller blind to it, you can pull this out to cover whatever is in the back of it, I blacked out the back windows on one of mine, mounted a couple of amber beacons on the roof and had a large vinyl sticker with 'DOG UNIT' made for on the tailgate, it never got broken into, if there's one thing thieves hate more than coppers it's guard dogs. Never carry it if you don't need it, if you're using say, plumbing tools today take them out if you don't need them tomorrow, I never leave test gear in, a box of hand tools stays in the back of my Landrover, but anything else is put in or taken out on an 'as needed' basis, that way if you are unlucky enough to get hit you don't lose too much kit.
