    Is it possible to restrict communities geographically? This allergy to anything that fits more than two people is very US-focused. There are people with families that need more than just a coupe.

            Same. I don’t mean tank. Just something that has three rows. When both kids are in the car - mom can’t fit in between them. And when the littelin starts crying - mom’s going crazy, cuz she can’t help him.

            So. Four of us, front passenger seat is useless, mid rear seat is useless. Need a third row.

                Most people in the US hate each other and their children, so they need a huge house and a huge car to be “with” them while also staying as far apart as possible.

                I do admit my house is huge by most standards but I run a basement studio/jam space out of it. My hobbies take up a lot of space…music recording, retro gaming etc

                  Some of my best memories of my siblings are from being crammed in the back seat of a car during a road trip with our Gameboys, trading pokemon and playing through Zelda : Legend of Time/Seasons and swapping catridges on the way back.

                    I realize the pic is not US. large vehicles in European countries are really quite stupid. I’m surprised they’re legal.

              You are somehow doing this wrong. I have a small hatchback and can fit two kids and two tall adults just fine. I think this is a matter or perspective. MOST of the world does not use giant SUVs.

                I have the 3 door variant of the car in this picture and it was just fine using it when my son was born. My wife would always forget to turn the headlights off because there’s no audible alert when getting out so would get a flat battery often.

                Maybe. But I’m 197cm - I think that’s about 6’5 or 6’6. We’ve got a 5 series and when I drive there’s very little space behind me. The 4 yo does not fit without me moving forwards quite a bit, while the reverse newborn seat makes me barely able to drive. I also think you’ve conveniently ignored half of my post.
