It did not for me. Getting the seats into a 2011 4-dr Mazda 3 was way easier than when we had to switch seats to family members with two doors.
For what it is worth, the OP did not necessarily want a CUV or larger; I get that. But that is just a lift straight up and forward from perpendicular to the car. That was much…

I think that may contribute to your success with smaller cars.  2/3 of all adult males in the US are taller than you.  That isn’t to say that you are short, but that, if you can just duck your head into the car and walk in, someone else may be smashing their face or bending way more to achieve the same result.  It is…

“The Integra was large/tall enough I could literally just duck slightly and walk right into the back of the car, snap the car seat in place, and step out.”

I have to ask; how tall are you?

Pardon my ignorance;
CAC?

I was kind of hoping the artwork was Lloyd Alexander with a flaming wrist-thingy..

Sad Panda.
Citation here is 2-and-a-half pounds and/or 18 inches. They can be pretty elusive.
Also, people suck here with their bowfishing.

Sure, there are exceptions that make it something other than “all the time awful”, but look at the list of recommended cars. In this instance, I would suggest that 3/4ths of the suggestions suck unshaven scrote-sack because A: the rear seat is not likely to hold a seat very well and, B: you will break your back…

I would make different choices, if I could. I agree that dropping in the convertible is easier, but I would not have a go-kart  Miata with my kids.

It isn’t the width of the door, it is the height of the roof.
We got the notion because it is.
The next time you go to the gym, grab a 30# dumbbell, kinda squat down, but do a hard, but awkward, leany-thing into a smith machine, extend the dumbbell, and drop it perfectly into place onto a bench you can’t see. Bonus…

So it was happy fun times all the time?

I wasn’t talking about for the kid, but for my spine.
To combine two posts, I would also argue that all luxuries are unnecessary. However, in a world of tradeoffs, being able to walk after getting car-seat carriers (which is where this dude will be) into a sedan versus a truck/something higher/with 4 doors is one I…

For everyone suggesting these two-doored cars, including the guy that is looking for help:
Putting babies in the back seat of a two door car sucks unshaven scrote-sack.

Wait. In Virginia? Where is this ‘Elizabeth Park’?  I have a buddy that is a Class IV (or almost Class IV, can’t remember) that needs trophy White Bass on his journey to Class V. I would love to give him a heads up.

Neutral:
I am not.
There will be chaos and mergers and winners and losers.

Am I worried for individual companies? Sure (well, not worried, because I don’t like any one more than another, but I know some are in dire straits).

The world did not need two formats for home videotapes. Beta lost, but the home videotaping…

75% of the vehicles you listed are F-Alpha platform. I am making that assumption based on “(old one, not crossover)“ meaning the R-51 (third gen).
I have owned half of the vehicles you listed (and all generations of pathfinder).
Can confirm; that was their best push once the Z-31 died/pre-Ghosn.  They have gotten…

Dang.
I presented at a conference in the Financial District. On the ride up from SFO, my wife was looking at the houses and how cute they were. I told her to Zillow up for some pricing, and she got very quiet.
Like, for the rest of the ride up to Post and Mason.

Correct.
People that ditch the ownership have probably done this math and realized that owning does not work for them for any number of math reasons that don’t fit into that simplistic study.

Also, land in SF is absurd. Living in a mostly-not urine-soaked refrigerator box will set you back $2500 a month. I can’t imagine…

Um.  What?

What parts of Virginia? Charlottesville, I am assuming? Any chance of coming closer to Richmond?
MPG overall, as you will be getting absolutely nothing flat for most of your trip.

I have it worse.
It is a 19 minute, 23 second drive from my house.

They let you test drive.
