With parents today (and overbearing grandparents) I think you’d get a fair amount of pushback/questions if you tried to jam kids into a modern Corolla or Civic. Somehow you absolutely need that SUV in 2023 parenting circles and anything else is bordering on neglect.
My parents managed to cram three boys into a not particularly large car in the 1960s. There was no such thing as a minivan back then.
