   Hi, 1st post on the forum.

  As the owner of Orlando ltz vtci, on a recent trip with family I offered a ride home to other guest at our function,(being I was driving a 7 seater) I took out luggage compartment cover & lifted rear seats, all passengers boarded, then I was confused as to where to store the cover, if it is put back into position the rear passengers are facing a thick metal bar ,surely this cannot be the correct storage for this, or am I missing somthing ?

	I am afraid there is nowhere to put the cover, I was told this when first looking at the Orlando, This does not bother me as I have removed the rear seats to put a spare wheel in the well that is left, and to reduce weight.

	Forgive me for asking Bopeep, but why buy a 7 seater and then take 2 of them out?
	Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front, oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back. Horsepower is how fast you hit and torque is how far you send the wall.

	Hi Bigiainw, My other car is a Fiat Doblo the most versatile car possible I have had all manner of things in it and on it even a three piece suit, and building materials galore. Wherever I am I can buy and say chuck it in the back. It has now done 100,000 and I wanted another car a bit more upmarket and auto to carry things with a touch more luxury and also to tow a caravan. I have found this in the Orlando. There are two of us I am in my 70s do not normally even use the second row. This week just got back on a trip Spain/ UK and we were full. Did keep the Doblo though still loads more space in it for bricks and cement.

	I found this out when I picked the car up and immediately had to give a lift to five other people. It fits nicely in the footwell of the middle row, not the best of plans but it fits and there were no complaints from the centre row passengers.

	Yeh, Iain is right. A major design flaw. The middle row footwell is the ONLY place you can put it. What did I say about it being a cheap car Iain?

	Given that I've only had it a week I prefer inexpensive as opposed to cheap.

	This problem happens with most cars, where do you put the cover not just our cheap ones.
