Colleen wants to start looking at something with 4 doors (because we have a grandchild now). Is there enough room in the backseat for 2 passengers and a baby seat to fit? I don't feel like going and looking at something without this info before hand. I hate having more than two doors....but that's just me. Also what kind of gas mileage are you getting and premium or regular? Thanks in advance, Al.

No way in a WRX unless the 2 passengers are small kids.

For that kind of room you are not going to find anything in the small sport wagons, you are going to have to look at larger vehicles.

That's just it, I don't want to go to a big car. I don't understand Colleen's thinking on this anyway...for the one or two times that we might go somewhere where we might take Rory and Livia and the baby... Probably because we won't ride in their car... I don't feel comfortable with either one driving me around.

The Impreza is small and so is the A3, the V50 is small, they are all small.

You would have to go much larger, minivan for you!

no way in the A3 (providing it's not a wagon to begin with )... you need a A6 Avant...

My father has a 325xi Touring wagon - awsome car.

I'm 6'0 and I fit comfortably in the back seat.

i agree with dougie...

even in our 740, that's a tight fit.

have you SEEN how big child seats are these days???

with 2 car seats in the 7, the back seat is done.....

Gas mileage also sucks in the WRX...
