Taking a page out of the Jalopnik book here
Despite the many tears shed that we only get the 4-door ST here, there are some of us who have to some practicality to justify a car like this. The ST may be to small to be considered a true family car, but there's still enough space to be useful. I am responsible for daily daycare pickups and drop-offs, so it's good that it's big enough to comfortably and safely fit a child seat. In my case, it's still a rear facing seat, so this should be a worse case scenario.
The attached pictures are of a Britax Marathon 70 seat, which I believe is middle of the road, size-wise. Putting it in the center has the front end of the seat just behind the shoulders of the frontseat riders. The pictures make it look like the seat sticks into the front passenger area, but it doesn't really. Strapping the kid into the center is not the nuisance I thought it would be. The childseat would fit behind the front seats only if the seats are pushed almost all the way to the front. For reference, I have the driver seat where I like it, and I'm 5'10".
