Reconfigurability of seating vs cargo space is a real advantage IMO. Those kids you're taking to soccer today may be the ones you're taking to college in a few years with a dorm room full of stuff. The much maligned minivan (aka loser cruiser) is the one to beat for versatility. Honda raised the bar (circa 1999?) with the Odyssey third row seat that dropped into the floor and others quickly followed, but second row, while removable, wasn't nearly as convenient, you had to physically remove them and stash them outside the vehicle. Still it's an intended use of the car. Having to break out tools to unbolt stuff is getting a little out there.
While ghastly vehicles by other measures the caravan and town and country really took it to an extreme with second row seats that fold into the floor. We rented them on occasion and boy did we get our money's worth
