Well I grew up with 2 siblings and we did just fine (as I'm sure most of you guys here who were born in the pre-SUV era) with a passenger car that easily seated 2 adults in the front and 3 kids in the back. Of course, this is not possible if all three kids need car seats at the same time. In that case your only option is a 3rd row seat. While I personally favor the wagons because they're easier to drive, park, wash, cheaper to own and better built but the minivans have come a long way. The new Toyota Sienna (or honda Oddesy) is probably the nicest family car you could ask for and with seats folded it'll swallow full 4x8 sheets of plywood!! No you wouldn't catch me driving one but then I'm not planning to have more than 2 kids
On the other hand I could be bribed into driving a cool wagon, there are some very nice ones on the market today. Some of the larger ones include the Mazda 6, Dodge Magnum, Audi A6/R6, Mercedes wagon, Jetta/Passat wagon, of course Volvo has a few.
