New here, have a few questions

Hello
I am currently considering a SVX for my next car and had a few questions. I tried searching but I couldnt find anything. First of all, how functional are the back seats in these cars? Can you fit a babyseat back there and still put the front seat back? I can fit a babyseat in the back of my vr-4 but the front seat wont go all the way back. Secondly, I will be driving the car about 100 miles per day to work, is this car a good choice for long commutes? And lastly I dont plan on any major mods (for now) but how well does this car respond to basic things like intake exhaust? Thanks for all your help
Ryan

Dont have an expierance with a child seat so i cant answer that. These cars really shine on the highway - thats what they're designed for. high speed cruising. VERY comfy. I have an intake, but i think it may have hurt performance. The stock intake system is fairly efficiant.

PS - which engine does your fiero have?

Kid seats.

YUP! I keep my 4YO's booster seat in the car, but I've had a full infant seat in there as well.

I drive 42miles one way to work, and I would wish for NO other car for this drive. Wonderful car ALL year round.

Adults are fine in the backseats as well.

Get one and you WILL be a satified customer.

oh and another thing

I just noticed that you have a 3000GT. I see why you are concerned about the back seats... or lack thereof.

Ya
the 3000gt has something that looks like a back seat but there is no way anyone is going to sit back there. They should have just made the car a 2 seater and saved some weight. Thats ok that is my "project" car so I dont take the family anywhere in it anyway.

I agree, there's no better (or safer) car for a long commute - but I'm still glad mine is no longer being used that way.

About the adults in the back seat - better be under 5'8". If I sat back there very long, I would need physical therapy on my neck.
