[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't get one of the huge SUVs, the 3rd row seating becomes obsolete once the kids reach age 9 or 10. The amount of legroom is crazy small back there for anyone other than a small kid to be comfortable. [/quote] Unless you are taking road trips, even adult can manage a 10 minute ride back there. We wanted a minivan but ended up with a pilot b/c we live in condo with small parking garage — minivan was about 6 inches longer which made a difference for our scenario. We are very happy with the 8 passenger pilot; kids are 9 and under and can manage the door and sliding seat just fine. We have car seats in 3rd row and baby convertible on one side of 2nd row, and can carry 2-3 carpoolers and two adults. Cargo is somewhat limited, so if we had a full car and needed gear we would use roof or tailgate gear box. An suv will generally have higher towing and tongue weight, and most have AWD. Only Siena seemed to have AWD and you lost a seat if you got it. [/quote]
