Default new shape galaxy, how much space inside?

just found out that the father in law has booked us a hire car for when we go on holiday - a 7 seater like a galaxy or similar...

now, there will be 4 adults, and 2 children, one in a baby seat the other has the booster type with a back on it...

anyway, that should be fine for the day to day stuff, but when i mentioned that we will have like 4 suit cases to fit in aswell, they still seem to think that its all going to go in, as last year we had a focus estate and managed ok!

then i said that the two rear seats are actually in the boot

so there wont be a great deal of room for anything else... but they wont listen, and think all will be fine!

am i right on this? as in, it just aint gonna happen lol?

If you are going to the states you will get a Chrysler Grand Voyager or similar and they have a bit more space.

In Europe you will get a Galaxy/Espace/similar and will struggle, but if you are only taking luggage to/from the accomodation/airport, one of you could take the cases in a taxi (and you can follow him so you don't get lost!)

were going to spain, ive been thinking about it today, and in the galaxy you can remove the rear seats i think, so if we stick the baby in the back seat as she will probably sleep anyway, there may just be enough room.

i dont think they rent roof boxes
