We test drove one and decided against it. Way too small and the third row is a joke. There's no way I would want three kids in one--I didn't even want to have two in it!
I dont have this car currently, but I had it as a rental. It's a great car...for 2 kids. No way I'd try to put 3 kids in it-especially 3 kids in carseats.
I've owned a 2010 Mazda5 since February and I love it but we will only have 2 kids (and we're not having any more) and we never take the dog in the car with the LO's. It's perfect for my needs and I liked that it has captain's chairs in the second row for a smaller vehicle. I have only very minor complaints.
I would not buy this car if I had three kids and a spouse. The third row isn't as bad as some other smaller vehicles that I've seen/drove but it's not great. It's fine for the occasional pinch when we need an extra seat.

We went with a Sienna.

Thanks, ladies. After some further research, we realized it wouldn't work for our needs.
Back to the drawing board!
