Problem is, even with just 2 kids and a 5 passenger car, you cannot give even 1 other couple a ride. In-laws come over, and they've got to drive separately everywhere we go.
I bet once I get a van my friends will be borrowing it all the time. They're just too useful.

Vans are super useful.
However, I suspect you will find out that even with a minivan you may still end up driving 2 cars places.
This summer we had family in and had 4 adults / 2 teens to transport. I was hoping for a minivan but wasn't willing to pay $900 to reserve one when I can show up and take any car on the rental lot for $230 a week. This time no minivan. However by the time we loaded up 6 people / luggage / cooler for 3 nights in Bend there wouldn't have been enough room in a minivan anyway. I had both rear hatches filled - the rental Blazer and our TSX wagon.
It was a tight fit 4 years ago putting 6 people and cargo into a Dodge Caravan for a day trip to the beach
