Just gave a similar speech a couple of weeks ago. I let our college daughter upgrade to our Land Rover LR4 when her Disco 2 broke down. But the speech was, "you are not the designated driver" for purposes of carrying 6 passengers. The far rear seats are stowed and I left the middle row middle seat stowed as well to hopefully prevent that.
She went from 180ish HP to 375 hp and from having just OK brakes to having brakes that will stop on a dime. I took her on a test drive that day and she about lost it going around a corner due to the extra power.
