When we put a child in the third row who needs help getting in a carseat, we come in through the back. Even with a stroller there it's doable. It's more awkward to try and help from the middle, in my opinion.
The back storage area doesn't hold much but you can totally fit a smaller Maclaren (Volo, Quest) in it with all seats up. A Techno will not fit. A supercheap umbrella stroller will even fit between the middle two seats.
The M5 is perfect for us. We are able to do just what you want and fit the grandparents in with us when they are in town. We took a road trip to NYC with another couple (they have no kids yet) and the 5 of us were snug but enjoyed being in one car and only having to deal with one vehicle in Manhattan. We went pumpkin picking with another couple and their child, and again it was nice having everyone in one car, even with two huge Britaxes!
I love having the van style sliding doors but a car I can parallel park easily. When the back two seats are down there is a lot of room for groceries, etc., but the gas mileage is way better than an SUV or a minivan.
All in all we are thrilled with our purchase.
