Also, when he became a toddler, I had an easier time with FR-S than my wife's Prius v. With FR-S, I can reach him while I'm driving. With Prius v, there is no way I can reach him unless I'm 7' tall or something. Baby = sleep or cry. Toddler = I want this. I want that. Do this for me. Do that for me.
YeAh I can see that.. Its not bad just hate the fact my girl isn't comfortable and I feel selfish for wanting to drive it all the time ha.

Your girl meaning your wife? If so, then she must be having a hard time after 10 minutes. The seat has to be slid all the way forward and the seat has to be set straight up. If FR-S is the only car for 3 of you, then I agree it's hard. For me was no problem because if all 3 of us are to drive out, we just take my wife's car.

Nah dude. Not only will you lose your shirt on the trade but the maintenance on the newer models is really steep!

I dunno, I told my future-wife-in-training she can have a baby after I have a Lamborghini. A child is a $250,000 20-year investment. Generally speaking, people who are economically successful enough to afford an Italian exotic, can afford an Italian exotic AND a child.....but the opposite is rarely true.
