Can anyone suggest a small/midsized sedan or hatchback that can accomodate 3 across, with one seat being a FR85? For around the $10k mark, and decent fuel economy?

Does such a car even exist?

Judi beat me! I was going to say the samething she did...awesome easy at putting in seats. Nice to drive and very nice on gas.

Car has to be 2005 or newer, if that makes a difference?

It depends what kind of miles you're willing to accept.

I don't know how prices compare across the border, but there's a 2007 Impala with 57K miles on it, selling local to me, asking price $8K.

Mine is an 02. Pretty sure an 05 would be the newer body style. I here it has slightly less room in the back.

*cough* minivan *cough*

I had a 05 maxx. I never had any problems with installs in though. Loved that thing for carseats. Lol

Shut-up, Judi!


Uhh, yeah. Bowing to Judi's infinate wisdom and resigning myself to another minivan. Looking into the 2006 Sedonas (I think that's the year they changed?)
