If you did the Q7, how would you fit 3 car seats in one row of seats?

that's why i said i doubt you can do that, even if the center one is front facing and the two sides rear facing. unless 2 in the middle row and one in the 3rd. but the 3rd row one kid will have to climb in from the tailgate area coz' the 2nd row can't flip forward anymore

i have a client with twins and one more kid. he said minivan is the answer

Another thought is to lease the minivan for the first two or three years just to get you through the toughest part, then when they are more mobile and you are not dragging around so much stuff you can re-evaluate what vehicle would work best and help return some of the fun factor.

haha it would take a lot more then that.

Driving an Audi S5 the past 2 days and I really like it I know many say bad things about Audi but I had no issues with my S4 that I leased back in 2006. I think Audi has come a long way over the past few years. I think I would take them over BMW today.

used price on x5 seems to be quite a bit stronger than q7, you gotta wonder why though

Russ I am having some fun with this car Fully loaded black 6spd manual with white leather. The car is a blast to drive

rominl Im sure if I looked for the X5 I could find one but to me it seems a little smaller from driving one not to long ago. Its a great driver I drove a 335ix and a 5 series ix a few weeks back and I wasnt impressed with them. I owned a 540i and a M3 and I loved them both. Not sold on the newer ones. I would take an M3 but I think thats about it today. I had no issues with my first Audi so I can only assume it will be the same. I think if I go the SUV route I would take the Audi over the BMW just by preference. Once this arrives I plan to test fit a few seats and toss stuff in the back to get a good idea of what it will be like before I do anything. Safety comes first before I get it. If its not safe then I can show the wife why its best to have the mini-van and call it a day
