Apparently my upcoming baby means I have lose to the coupe. Anyone bought a family car recently? I was looking at a Murano, but I am not a big fan of SUVs.

Funny how americans consider a baby a good justification to buy a car that can fit a basketball team.
Even a sub-compact is tight for 3 adults in the backseat, but a baby and his/her bag of stuffs is much smaller than even 2 adults.

In america we use car seats. those car seats, even in a decent size vehicle require the front seats be pushed up when set up rear facing. That doesn't work in a sub compact.

What do you think the all time record of internet forum posts for an English speaking non-American is before they post one of those "Why do Americans _________ when they could easily ________. They are so ignorant!" comments? Like 6? 7? Enough troll feeding.

Really guys, a Civic isn't a small car. When someone says that, sounds like some fat woman calling a 200lbs guy skinny.

Why do Americans bother when they could easily not? They are so ignorant!

I have a child and we had a pretty small hatchback car when she was born, it was fine. We had a babyseat rear-facing in a Holden Barina (in the middle) which was a little squishy but no big deal.

When my son was born we had a Toyota Corolla Hatch, similar to spenno's Barina, and had the same set-up. I'm 6'4" and had no major dramas with it (although that Corolla did have pretty good leg room).
I bet my Corolla would have kicked spenno's Barina's arse off the lights though...
