Since you asked about compacts, I'll throw one out there. The Honda Insight.
I don't know about the My Ride, but I've had no issues rear facing a Recaro Signo or a EFTA. Well, actually, the Signo is best rear-facing behind the drive for visibility issues; I was still able to push the driver's seat all the way back.
I looked at getting a Sentra and found the Insight to have a more leg room, but it would not be good for a 3 across if that would ever be a concern. DS is currently riding in a Frontier and has enough leg room with my 6' ft tall DH in front of him.
I haven't test drove any of the other cars. They were on my list, but between price and gas mileage, I drive quite a bit, the Insight worked out best price wise for me. I 'save' over $150 a month in gas, which makes the car payment more affordable for me.
(Sorry, I'm still in love with my car after 7 months and 21,500 miles and want to share the love.
