Since we live in a big tourist area (DC) it's nice to be able to take a single vehicle with everyone. Also when we travel to visit, it's ideal again for the same reason.

I agree...3rd row probably won't see much use...but it'll be nice to have when/if needed. In addition though, the extra card space is needed for the many road trips. We already struggle to get everything in the VW....I mean it fits...but EVERY square inch of space is used...that's frustrating on 6+ hour drives.
