Congratulations on the kid, I have a boy 5 and a girl 8 and they both love riding in my XFIRE and ask all the time. I do not need a back seat when it just me going to work and back home, good on fuel good on insurance and fun to drive. Great for me. The 275 Gmax tires with xtra weight in back and drives alot better in snow than I thought it would, just hit car wash ever weekend wash salt out of wheel wells in hand bay, or I pull my pressure washer out.
