X2 on the 5, i was in the same boat your in.. I when i was looking for a bigger car. I searched and searched but there isn't much of a selection out there. the mazda 5 had everything i was looking for (high MPG and 3rd row)

good luck ..

Here is my car before the yaris. 1996 Roadmaster wagon...
Fit a lot of kids, could carry 4' x 8' sheets of plywood and drywall, and had close to 300hp. I also got 20mpg with it, which is the same I get with my crappy Mercury Villager.

In my experience, you'll quickly outgrow something the size of the Mazda 5. There does not appear to be that much room behind the second row of seats, and once you put a stroller in there you won't have much space for anything else. With the third row of seats and there must be absolutely little to no space behind them.

Honestly, I think you'll have to look at minivans to satisfy your requirements. Sure, there is a "stigma" of driving one but once you've owned one you will find that the cargo capacity and hauling abilities will make you quickly realize why they are so popular. My kids are older (12 and 9) and we are constantly hauling them, their friends and their gear all over the place. Our Odyssey seems like it was perfectly designed for doing just that. With the third row seats folding into the rear compartment, it is easy to expand the hauling capability. Need more room? Then remove the second row of seats (not too hard to do) and you could almost put a piano back there! Need to scoot your kid and five of his friends to the skatepark? With all the seats in, it's a piece of cake!

Again, don't buy new, look for a 2-3 year old Odyssey or something and you'll find the best deal.

Ah, the good old station wagon.

i will say having a $40,000 AWD supercharged minivan is pretty sweet. Especially since you can get the TRD supercharcharger on the Sienna. I drove an AWD Plymouth for a while. great sound system, fun with awd, but man, the gas mileage stunk.
