Picture of 2 baby seats in the FR-S - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Our friends just got an FR-S to test-drive for a week and took the opportunity to install his two baby seats in the back. I can now convince the wife we can get an FR-S as a second car

Hahaha...yes, you can get away with it for now but if you have teenagers above 5 feet, they will not find it very comfortable for more than 15 mins.

Oh those teenagers will have to deal, or ride their bicycle.

Reminds me of fitting buddies into the back of my 944, which was interesting.

That's assuming you haven't cut off their feet from the knees down.

LOL @ their armrests.

Rear facing (what I'd need) would be too tight of a fit, and overall too inconvenient for me. Glad to see some people can make it work.

I sat in the back seat at the dealer. Assuming everyone is 5'6" everyone (4 people) will be comfortable.

I took the carseat out of mine and put it back into the WRX. While it works, I feel like if I were to get into an accident there isn't enough room between his legs and the back of the seat in front of him. I can buy another car, I can't replace my boy.

not to go off topic but they let him test drive it for a week.. if he doesnt buy it then would it be considered used.. isnt that unfair to the person who wants to buy the car and now it has miles on it?.. sorry just wondering

I would suspect his friend may be an auto-journalist or some sort who can get this deal. I have never heard a one-week test drive except for auto-journalist who frequently do this for their reviews. The car will be deemed demo after that test drive, I would think.

solidsnake4119 · 06-29-2012, 02:42 PM

Soooo... How did you manage to be able to test drive it for a week?

You are most likely correct on the auto-journalist part, but in the end, cars change from "new" to "used" when they have been registered to someone besides the factory. Mileage does not matter. That's why cars sold as "demos" can have relatively high mileage but are still considered new.
