We're on the hunt for a new car since lo2 is due to arrive very soon. We want to get an suv (never owned one before!)

We test drove a couple of models and really ended up liking the hyundai sante fe sport. It seats 5 but is super roomy with lots of cargo space.

We haven't tried any 3 row models that seat 7-8, but I'm wondering if there is any advantage that I'm overlooking besides being able to haul more people. We aren't in any car pools and we never really need to move more people than just our family of 4 so I think the seats would probably be laying down mostly anyway. They seem to have way less storage space if we had the seats up too.

I don't want to regret not taking it into consideration if I should though! Any thoughts?
