Not actually impossible to make it work that way, as long as you're not in a real hurry.

I did fit 8 people in a two door Mazda 323 in Mexico once.

Before using seatbelts became mandated in Brazil, it was not really unusual to do, even though a 2-door Mazda 323 is unobtainium here

I don't know what the prices used to be in Mexico, but even though they have cheaper economy models not available in the USA, they are currently still prohibitively expensive, especially by Mexican wage standards. And the used market is not like the one in the USA. Vehicles hold their value for much longer. Those that I know that own cars in Mexico, and I know a lot of people that live in Mexico, all spend a huge portion of their income on owning what we would consider a clunker in the USA.

Same or even worse in Brazil, and the prices of new vehicles skyrocketting within the last 6 years also raise the prices of used cars.
