A 2007 Honda FR-V, found in an English scrapyard.
The 2000s were something of a golden decade for"tall hatchback" MPVs in Europe, and the good news for Japanese manufacturers was that they had plenty of home-market-optimized vehicles designed for space efficiency that could be brought over to compete with the likes of the Renault Modus, Citroën Xsara Picasso and Hyundai Matrix.
And another row of three seats in the front! The six-passenger setup used to be commonplace in big, bench-seat-equipped Detroit sedans of 50 years ago, but it's a tougher engineering challenge to do it in a small car that shares its platform with the Civic and CR-V. The strange-looking Fiat Multipla of the same era had a similar seating arrangement.The rear seats fold up to make more cargo space, which is respectable even with the seats in use.
