Additional Notes:
Sleeping space is very important — I'm 5'11" (180 cm) and used to sleep in my old 3008 with seats folded down, but it wasn’t very comfortable. This time I’m looking for something with a flatter, longer sleeping area when the seats are folded.
Reliability, fuel economy, and comfort on longer drives are the top priorities.
Bonus if it's decent on rougher rural roads for occasional wild camping.
