I purchased this car after owning a dodge caravan for 5 years. I wanted to have the flexibility of 7 passenger seating without having a van.

When travelling with 4-5 the vehicle is great with lots of storage space in the trunk.
The 3rd row is really only good for children and when in use limits your storage space
I wouldn't recommend it for a large family for every day use with 7 people, but for occasional extra passengers it works well.
