These kids will be addicted to speed! My little one (7 yr old) said to my sister who drives a ford family car: " Aunty you have a nice car, but is it fast enough? you should really get something faster like a Porsche or Ferrari" lol. Sounded a little spoilt but said innocently, he is learning and being taught he will have to work hard for nice things he wants in the future.

My kids are 4 and 7, they enjoy that rush they experience when the turbo accelerates, albeit only a bit when they're in the car for safety/them learning road safety

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Looking forward to enjoying for years, and man my 3y/o son already prefers my tiny little car over the suv everywhere we go. He's in love with the turbo, too!

Ruri, the car seats are Diono Radian RXT Convertible, and I found on Amazon. I had Maxi Cosi Pria 70's in previous veh and they didn't fit well due to built-in cup holder. This Diono is one of the slimmest seats made, feels sturdier and is actually heavier (~32lbs ea) than the Maxi Cosi. I had these installed by our local certified installers and they fit like a glove. Very pleased.

Perhaps his car resides in his family room?

Nice car!

First of all congrats on a beautiful car. The interior color is special.

On the baby seats, if you don't mind, did the seat cushions need to be removed? Thanks in advance.

No, I think just black. That's how window sticker reads.

Haha. No, I wish that was my garage. That's a pic taken from dealer's storage garage.

I removed the seat bottoms and the seat backs using info from past threads on this forum. Gave the boys an extra few inches of leg room and really made a difference - no more feet in my back while driving.
