Or you go through the trunk!

(Yea, I know, you can't fold down the seat and have a car seat, but the thought did go through my head. Take it easy on me, its a mess up there, I do my best. A lot of good thoughts get lost there).

Please, please, please god, let this vehicle get a reputation as a "secretary's car", or let the lack of horsepower dissuade all the morons amongst us. I vow right here and now that when I get into discussions with others about cars, and they say, "200 hp? Man, that thing is too slow!" then I shall reply, "You're right... it is a slow car. Why did I ever buy one..."

lol ...

Which dealer did u go to?

would your daughter have been ok if the seat went all the way back? i'm asking cuz i know i'll have this car after i have kids and will probably be carting them around in it some of the time, and me being my height i need to have the drivers seat all the way back. otherwise i hope the front passenger seat has an off switch for the passenger side airbag.

The way I read the TIS, the front seat airbag is disabled under a certain weight threshold. You should see an "airbag off" light illuminate when the seatbelt is connected and the weight on the front seat is too low. You could always put your kiddo behind the passenger and slide the passenger seat forward. That will be my plan for when she and I are running around just the two of us. We'll take the Prius or 4Runner if mom is tagging along.

No kids will fit with the seats all the way back. The front seat actually hits the back seat with zero space between the two. Well, actually the OP's little guy would fit since his feet don't make it to the edge of the seat...
