    Unfortunately a lot of people buy these to haul kids. They act like you can’t put car seats in a sedan and put strollers in the trunk. We had 5 people in my dad’s 1972 Mercury Capri when I was growing up. The back seat was small. Of course we weren’t as fat as typical Americans are today.

      When I had two kids in car seats I upgraded to a bigger car. It was a VW Jetta wagon/estate. Plenty of space for both kids and all our stuff to go on week long vacations. And since it was a diesel it got like 40mpg highway.
