Grand C-Max has the sliding doors, and a removable Centre rear seat. (and i think 2 more seats under the boot floor if needed.
otherwise, what sthe budget, brand new? nearly new etc. S-Max if you like fords are pretty good, but big. Skoda as mentioned is also a great estate car
Think you might be surprised by the number of people who won't be pretending. However, 10 days seems excessive, especially when most companies only give you 1-week paid leave if your parent dies!
I'm no expert but a 40% split for a guy with no titles and back to back defeats seems a good deal! especially with the numbers this fight would bring in overall!
