You have to know what the car is going in. If you are unrealistic about it being practical of course you will regreat your purchase decision...

I have 3 kids. I love my BRZ. It's perfect for me. However, I also had a strategy in mind when I bought it. We also have a Honda Pilot that can fit the family and all of the kid shit with ease... And then some. So the BRZ is really my daily work driver and doesn't see kid action 99% of the time (that happens in the Pilot). So I can tolerate the 1% of the time I transport 1-3 kids in my car. And the 99% of the time when I'm just in my car it gets kicks ass gas mileage in my commute. And it's awesomely fund and engaging to drive to boot. I knew what it was going in though. I knew I wasn't going to be doing much family hauling in it, but if I really need to haul kids or it's just me and the wife when we have a babysitter, it works fine in a pinch.
