No point in a shelf for me, I had planned to get one but have since realised that the boot only just fits our weekly shop in it as it is and still have to remove parcel shelf to fit more stuff in when wife and kids are also in car. Stupidly went to B&Q the other week to buy a gazebo, walked out of shop and then realised it wouldn't fit in boot and wife and kids in car so no room. Managed to squeeze it in boot by moving back seat forward and taking parcel shelf out. I'm so used to driving bloody great pickup trucks that I'm not used to thinking about whether something will fit in the car!!
