How Multi-Purpose is a multi-purpose vehicle?
MPV = multi-purpose vehicle, but how multi-purpose are they besides the "normal" stuff? Let's find out.
1. Limousine
Most MPV's have a 7 seat configuration, in other words, pulling up the rear seats while folding the rear seats will result in... a huge amount of legroom. Now, the only thing missing is someone to limousine you, while you're comfortable chatting with your fellow limousine rider and relax a bit. To conclude, if you want to transport important people as Uber driver, stop looking at Mercedeses and Audis, get a Galaxy.
Ford Galaxy
2. Campercar
You know the problem, you want to go on a big road trip, but you don't know where you're going and a camper doesn't suit you. Well, you could buy a campervan and spend too much money on it, or you could just convert your family MPV into one. Actually makes sense, doesn't it? You'll have a decent amount of space, a place to sleep and after your road trip, you can use it as the family car or limousine again.
3. Race weekend car
So, after you slept inside your MPV nearby the circuit, you need something to go on the circuit with. Now, what's the most logical thing to do? Yes, get out the camping equipment and put on the splitter and spoiler, make sure the kids are tight in the seatbelts and hit that track! With a bit of squealing tires, you'll be able to throw your Zafira OPC in less than 9 minutes over the Nurburgring! Not bad for a 1.6 tonnes MPV.
4. Take it for a bit of "off-roading"
Get your off-road tires and bull bar, we're going off-road. "BuT, aN MPV iS uSuAlLy FrOnT wHeEl DrIvE." Yes, but so are most SUVs, so that's not an excuse besides, Ford is willing to sell you an AWD S-max or Galaxy, so off you go. They've got ground clearance and an engine, and as the big off-road specialist I am, I reckon that's enough to tackle the toughest challenges! Just... make sure you have the phone number of the tow truck on speed dial, to rescue that Land Rover that decided to follow you, of course.

Dammit, I'm now really annoyed that we never did the limousine thing when we had the Zafira
Also that Espace race car looks incredible! 😍
Yess that Renault looks cool
I came up with the limousine idea while I was thinking how to arrive in style at the diploma granting 😂
😂 Well to be fair you're still in a Zafira in the end though
Enyaq innit innit 😉
