3-Row Suvs/minivans

Recommended Posts

Please make a case for an automobile that would comfortably seat at least 3 adults and two car seats.

Suddenly we're in need of a new car.

Sadly a minivan may be in our future.

We used to be one of those couples who looked down in disgust at minivan owners. Swore we'd never get one.

Now we own one and love it. Kids change that. The first time your little one can climb into the seat by themselves and look at you with that smile of satisfaction...yeah it's totally worth it.

Good Lord, Jase...don't get a Minivan!!!

I have a honda pilot that would fit all you need

I have the 3rd row that folds down as well

This'll be my wife's car... I'll still have my TS-sex.

So my dignity might remain intact if only for a little while.

Oh Ellen, it's totally different. Average height of an SUV floor is double that of a minivan, and for a toddler that's like the difference between a small hill and mount everest.

Built in entertainment systems, 2nd row captains chairs, more room in general, and car platform vs truck platform are some of the other reasons. You really don't see the value in one until you have kids, it's just that simple. At least it was for us

I know a couple who had to buy a minivan suddenly (they had twins on top of one kid already). The guy drives it, the wife refused. He calls it "the white car" never the "minivan" (he's a stay at home dad).

I have rented one to drive to FL the past couple of years (6 people plus luggage) and while yes they look terrible and chicks don't check me out when I'm driving one, they do serve a purpose and do it well.

I swore I'd never have a minivan, and then I bought one and loved it. There's so much more room in one than in an suv, and the back seats are much more comfortable. It was great for going on trips, too. They are much easier to get in and out of.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
