We just had a similar situation to deal with and ended up getting
the Britax Roundabout. We put it behind the passenger seat in a 2
door VW Fox. It required that we pull the seat all the way
forward. When I got in the passenger seat, my knees touched the
dashboard (I'm 5'4'') and my husband couldn't sit in the passenger
seat. It was very difficult to get the baby in and out of the
car, but we made it work for a while. It was irritating enough
though that we ended up buying a new car.

Try this site: http://www.carseatdata.org
They have useful info about carseats and compatibility with
different cars.
Good luck!

I read somewhere that the stores have to let you take the
carseats out to your car to try to fit it before any purchase.
I'd recommend this. I have a Britax Roundabout, which is
slightly smaller than the Marathon, but it's really big! I
happen to love it and feel really safe with my son in it, but
it's big! IT's super easy to install, but it's big! Get my
drift. I'd really recommend going to a store, like Babies R Us
or anywhere with car seats and trying them in your car. Then you
can try to purchase it online. I found that Babies R Us had a
sale and I couldn't beat the price online, so I bought the seat
there.
