Honestly I strongly suspect my car seat challenge was just another example of that car being a poorly designed POS. It had all sorts of bonkers design faults, like water bottle holders in the doors that were simply the wrong size to hold any kind of sealable bottle and too aggressively angled to hold an unsealed container of any kind

Another example was that the trunk was absolutely massive, but with the places things stuck down into the trunk and the gigantic lip at the bottom fitting anything bulky or awkward was next to impossible. Or the bright screen that used tons of blues in its design language and couldn’t be fully turned off while driving, and while it was a touchscreen, the angle to reach over and press anything even as a passenger was so awkward you’d just avoid using the touchscreen at all, but certain common actions required using the touchscreen to access

But yeah I love small cars, and someday I’ll probably import a Kei van or car because I would absolutely rock that, and it lends itself to the joke that you’re compensating for something with the super tiny car ;)
