[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you looked at the Mazda 5?  It has two seats in the second row--the minivan-style ones, not a bench seat--plus a bench seat that folds down in the 3rd row.  It's not that much longer than my current Prius; I parked next to one at Target a few weeks back specifically to make the comparison because we also live in the city and only have street parking.  We have a 50lb dog and baby #2 on the way and it's what we're considering if we decide we can't make do with our current car (the Prius is our only one).  I have not driven it or checked out the storage space in person, but it looks like a good city option.  And I've been seeing tons of them on the road lately, so it looks like lots of others agree.[/quote]

We LOVE our Mazda 5.  However, I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to have more kids (and keep the car).  For occasional extra people, the 3rd row is fine, but it's not very comfortable or convenient for regular use; plus you lose most of your cargo space.  But we almost never need the third row (only when the GPs are in town), so it works great for us.  Feels like driving a fairly sporty small car (at least, it has way more zoom than my Civic Hybrid...), comfortable, lots of space inside, good gas mileage, and CHEAP.[/quote]
