That brings us to the other problem that is a constant and often brought up about your test cars. They had a similar mid $40,000 version on display at the mall the other day. The interior looked great. So I went online and looked up a mid $20,000 model and the interior, while not terrible, was no where close to the look of the twice as expensive model. One of those two cars would be a much nicer place to spend a lot of time. And the overall feel and experience of owning the two cars would be different.
To me the purpose of a long term test is to know how the car would be to live with. Start getting the trim levels and options that are most common. Do reviews of the crazy fun versions but let us know how it is to live with the rental car trim level rather than the don't care what I spend trim level.
As to the seat issue, I' own a car with the snap-belt strap. Worthless, in my experience. I grab the strap reaching back down at floor level than around at the top, and it's fine. I do agree, GM's old system of integrating the belt in the seat was a great solution, and showed it doesn't have to be in just a premium car. Only trouble I recall is that it thickened at least the outer seat area and when the question is ingress/egress into a tight back seat, a new problem could be created.
