I own an 06 and my 3-year old's forward-facing car seat - Britax Roundabout - is in the middle. I'm about 5'8". She can (and does) kick the back of either front seats from time to time, but it's easy to get her into and out of her car seat. Medium/smaller passengers can ride in the two rear passenger seats but the car seat will slightly poke them.
I also borrowed an 09 when my 06 was in the shop, and had to put the car seat in it too - in the middle. Space on the sides seemed about the same, but it was noticably harder to get my daughter into her car seat, and she could kick the font seats more easily. I think that the front seats on the 09 are thicker (in the back) than the 06.
