I have a Honda MDX and I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it. Its a beautiful car to drive, all the luxury stuff, very comfortable to drive in and there is a reasonable amount of room in the third row - enough that my kids would be fine in there for some years to come. Two of my SsIL have Klugers - one basically brand new and the other about 8 years old and the Honda has much more room in the third row than the Klugers do. They don't bring the MDX into Australia anymore though so it would be a second hand one.

HOWEVER, I can't use the third row at the moment because the anchor points are in the roof, so all three kids are across the second row back seat. Doing up seatbelts is a major pain in the whatsit. I had to get a hire car late last year and I got a Kia Carnival and yep, Nelle is spot on. I have serious envy of mums with Carnivals and similar because it is just so much easier getting everybody in and out, not worrying about my bigger girls opening doors into other cars in the carpark, and oh my goodness when its raining everybody just diving in and not getting drowned is brilliant. While nowhere near as luxurious as my car, it was still nice to drive, easy to park, and not so bad fuel economy for a car that takes lots of people
