Well, I am still in love with my new car, but today I tried to install the car seat and my love was put to the test. I am not sure if it just seemed like a tighter fit in the Jetta because it literally was a tighter fit, or if it really was. None the less, I have decided that all car seat manuals should come with a few modifications that include stiff drinks and marriage counseling. After an ENTIRE day working on it, it's in!
