The sacrifices made in looks and technology are well worth it for seats, space & comfortability. Currently drive a 15 passenger which allows for 0 trunk space, but with easily removing back 2 seats it opens up to all the trunk space you could ever need. (Do suggest some sort of tie down for large items)Not all seats have lower anchors,but their are still plenty. We have found that w/our diono convertible car seats(which although narrow, are very tall/long seats)they only fit rear facing in that first row, however if needed you could removed other seats to accommodate as needed, however not many need more than 3 RF at a time. We have mid roof which is amazing. Fits through drive-thrus and my husband(5'9") and I(5'5")can stand up fully. Does not fit in parking garages, if you frequent those often. We opted for a sliding door vs reg.doors knowing parking might already be tight places. Wouldn't change, however ours is not automatic slider so it is a bit difficult for those that don't know the trick to opening and the slam needed to close(would perfer auto but not a deal breaker w/ our pre-owned purchase) down side in shopping pre-owned is availability in general(as demand isn't high), and then finding the seats, roof height, price, and slider door/other featured you want. Another switch i would make if I had the preference would be to get the solid floor vs carpet for cleaning, however carpet is probably the easiest to clean of all the cars I've had. I can walk through with my Dyson stick vacuum and vacuum the aisle and under all the seats without crawling in tight places. The bus seems extreme and intimidating at first but give it a bit and it really isn't that bad. We found w/back up camera it is easiest to back in everywhere, actually gives better view for pulling in parking spots and it makes leaving places a breeze. We made the swap when baby #5 was a baby, and now #6is on the way. Honestly one of the greatest decisions we made. We love it!
