Unless you've got triplets or twins + 1, three kids is a lot easier than two. They help each other out, work together, look out for each other, etc.
Some things are drastically more expensive, others are negligible. What annoys me the most is that most 5-passenger vehicles these days are actually just 4-passenger vehicles with an emergency-use-only 5th seatbelt. You're "supposed" to buy the 3-row 7/8 passenger SUV/Van. But then you have no cargo space because the third row seats aren't folded down.
Non-availability in the USA would be the main issue. But even then, those cars are fairly narrow and quickly become uncomfortable when your kids get older.
It's crazy, but a Ford F150 SuperCrew has pretty much the perfect passenger space; if only they would put something like that in a two-row wagon format.
I spent my childhood (as the oldest child of 3) in Ford Mondeo and later Renault Grand Scenic. Both were OK. Ford Galaxy is used as taxi in my city, it's great - it's wide enough to comfortably drive 5 adults.
