    At the moment I am driving a 4 door Toyota Corolla sedan and I fit three car seats across the back...two FF either side and the RF in the middle (they are all reversible car seats).

    We have a Toyota Landcruiser Wagon 80 series, I love it to pieces! It has HEAPS of room with an extra 2 seats in the back if you need them. You can usually pick one up for about that price. Good luck car hunting i hope you find something!
    That is what I am going to buy...an 8 seater

    Word of warning - a Lancer probably won't fit 3 seats in the back. Our test was to try and seat 2 adults and our 9 year old in the backseat and see if they fit - it's a very tight squeeze in the back of a Lancer, and there really isn't a lot of space between the back seats and the front, so it's likely to struggle with a rear facing seat unless you've got the front seats all the way forward.

    They also have turning circle of brick and the VRX model speaking from experience chews fuel like you wouldn't believe. We recently traded our 07 VRX (so not the current shape but one before it) and are picking up our new Outlander today.

    We had a Mitsubishi Magna (sold it to move OS) and it fitted 3 car seats. I loved that car.
