2 seater vs 2+2 - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

i wouldn't consider a 2 seat car.........my kids would have to be either strapped on the roof, or running after the car

also at one point, i had my two kids in their car seats, and my small friend in the back.....she wasn't comfortable, but she did fit

I enjoy the trunk space but if it were to come down to it I would definitely take out my back seats for the weight reduction.

i dont really know if backseats do anything for insurance.

They don't. Number of seats, number of doors, or color have no direct bearing on insurance rates. It's just that most 2 seater cars also happen to be expensive sports cars which cost more to insure so somehow people incorrectly assumed that 2 seater means expensive insurance.

Just look at insurance rates for Nissan Zs or Mazda Miatas. They are relatively reasonably priced 2 seater cars and their insurance rates are the same as cars of similar value regardless of the number of seats.

If the twins were only a two seater I just would've just bit the bullet and went for a (more expensive) Nissan 370Z (just as impractical but faster). The vestigial back seats make the car almost seem passenger friendly and practical (until you get a good look at them or try to sit in them).

I always wonder for kids purpose, whether 86/BRZ can actually fit 1 child booster and 1 stroller as well?

Booster seat = yes

My kids were too big for strollers by the time I got the BRZ, but a small stroller ought to easily fit in the trunk.

How much is the insurance on your 86?
