ERF car seat in a 3 door car

I've got a 3 door car and I'm wanting ERF for my LO's next car seat. Should I be looking for one with a swivel function like the Cybex Sirona? I'm thinking if not then I'll have to climb into the back when trying to get LO in and out. Any experience from other 3 door car owners?

BUMPING:

LO is 8mo so I've got a wee bit of time to get this sorted before she outgrows her maxi-cosi.

I'm looking for advice on which erf car seat would fit in my 2007 Ford Fiesta. It has 3 doors and no isofix.

Also, can someone explain the practicalities of getting baby in/out an erf in a 3 door.

Should I put the baby seat in the front?

If it's not going to work, I do have some savings I could put towards a new, 5 door car!!

We have a Sirona and I am not really sure if I could actually get DD in even with it swiveled, in a 3 door car. Plus, it would be really hard to swivel it backwards, and especially to recline it when swiveled and to get it back to side facing.

I assume up till now you've been taking the seat out and putting your DC in, out of the car, and then clicking it into the base? Does it have any kind of recline function while in place? The recline function on the Sirona has you put your hand under their feet i.e. way back at the seat.

I suppose though you could get in the back seat on the other side?
