- Well, the simple answer for me is anything that's a five seater. That would
- include Ford Escorts, Chevy Cavaliers, Geo Prizms, and tons of other cars.
- It would *not* include Chevy (or Geo) Spectrums or any other small car with
- only four seatbelts in it. And that's the key thing...not how many people
- you can theoretically squeeze into the sucker, but how many seatbelts there
- are. My sister-in-law has a small Dodge Colt (smaller than our Spectrum),
- but it has five seatbelts in it, so she can take herself, her husband, and
- her kid (in carseat) along with my wife and I in it. With our car, and NY
- State law, we can only take four people unless one of the five is an adult
- sitting in the back seat with no seatbelt on (and we've had to do this from
- time to time).
