As far as the kids seat goes, a forward facing seat WILL work. But I would try a rear facing before I bought the car (if you need to put the seat in that vehicle). I have a forward facing in mine, but I have to put it on the passenger side, it doesn't leave a ton of leg room for the wifes legs. But hell, I don't ride over there.

He paid 18k in Canadian dollars folks... Which is about 17k US dollars, plus the price of American Cars up there is not the same as it is here...

thanks for the advice about child seats - although you are right - 17k USD is a complete sting.

i've noticed that they are far more expensive up here, which is a joke.

can't even get one in US and drive it over the border, since you get stung with import duty and taxes.

any ideas why they are so expensive up here? must be something to do with the snow and ice on the roads in the winter where everyone drives their 4x4s instead (!)

speaking of which - how does the V6 cope with ice & 3ft of snow?!?

it doesnt...

I almost totaled my car on the highway in the snow/ice last year.

Of course no car is good in ice..but if you get a lot of bad weather, forget about it. its terrible.

I live in WI and tried mine with about 1/2" of snow at the begining of the season, I stored it the rest of the winter. Friends have said that with some sand bags in the trunk it is doable but be carefull! I don't see many around here in the winter.

If you absolutely HAVE to drive a Stang in snow, especially Canadian winters, dedicated winter tires and about 150-200 lbs in the trunk. And even then it's passable only as deep as you have clearance.

Forward facing no problem. 2 seats even, no problem.

Rear facing, very iffy.
