Well opinions are to be considered right and/or wrong...my opinion of my 3rd row sit is that is functional for kids. It is a bit more difficult to fit a child with a car seat back there but as long as the middle seats are set towards the maximum allowable front, my 10 and 9 year old fit perfectly back there while my 3 year old and 1 year old fit in the middle seat and sometimes their cousin (9 year old) in between them :-)
So thank god for the X5 with 3rd row sitting, it was my salvation to keep a BMW , otherwise there are not too many options out there in the german arena that gives you the performance of a 7 passenger SUV. Oh and not to brag a 20mpg city 95% of the time
