I got rid of my GSR hatchback for this reason. 2 doors + infant seat = suck

That should be doable with a car like this if you're somewhat flexible. You still have to bend over, but it's not nearly as much back strain.

That's partly why I didn't get a 1.8L NA or S2k. With either of them, I could install a switch, but I decided to just forgo the issue and get a '99 (lightest NB available). A 1.6L NA was also an option (since it lacks a passenger airbag), but they're a little underpowered for my taste.
