Yeah, I'm afraid that the original plan - a Scooby WRX - only lasted until Chloe was born, when it became very obvious that the kiddie seat didn't fit in the back... well, not without the front seat all the way forward on the sliders and the seat-back absolutely vertical. The old WRXes had very little rear legroom hence really very very little room for a rear-facing kiddie seat

Still, the new STi does fit the seat. Mmmmm.....

The Prius isn't bad, you get a lot of enjoyment driving it in both a non-Prius (eg cornering hard) and very Prius (eg not braking) fashion. I always find it hilarious to take the on-ramp to 280 at 45 and see the BMW driver behind me panic as he lifts half-way round <evil grin>
