First of all, 6 months is way too early for forward facing car seat. Even 12 months is too early, according to many sources. 2 years is really what most people should be shooting for.
I have no problem with our rear facing Combi Tiro II infant seat mounted in the middle of the rear seat. There seems to be plenty of room in both our NG900 and our Subaru Impreza. The Impreza is a 2-door (CG8 2.5RS) and is significantly tighter than the SAAB. Still, there is plenty of room and the infant seat is mounted in correct position.
Perhaps you need to look for a different type/brand seat. Our seat is mounted on a base. This makes it higher by about 6 inches than it would have been if mounted directly on the seat. Perhaps that's the difference.
You can go to a local child seat safety station and get you infant seat checked for proper mounting by an experienced person. This is usually a police officer who has fitted hundreds of child seats and knows all the tricks. See link below for more info.
