here's your reasons:
- lower price
- more trunk space
- lower insurance cost
- Scion is(was) top in consumer reports
- IMO, FRS looks better than (current) miata

Took my parents out to dinner at my aunts house last night. My poor 73 year old mother could not get in or out of either the passenger or right side back seat comfortably. Definitely planning on treating this like a two-seater. Unless, I have my 7 year old nephew and 3 month old niece.

Well that answers my question how was I going to get 4 loose 17x8s and 4 255/40/17s to the tire shop in two weeks. I was shocked at how much room 4 225/45/17s took up.

I believe that was enough room for me to drive comfortable, too.

Good lord. Those seats are for emergency kid pick-up / child seat / small objects and nothing else.

The other week some drunk acquaintances of mine were left abandoned outside of a bar (their DD met a girl at the bar and ran off with her...) so they called me up and asked if I could get them.
I managed to cram 2 6' tall guys in the back seat and another almost 6' tall person in the front passenger seat.

Luckily I only had to drive about 5 miles to get them home.
And no time for a picture; one of the guys tried to steal someone else's cab and was in the process of getting caught when I pulled up to get them.

I bought this car knowing how unexisting the rear seats are. It's so people don't always ask to car pool haha.
