Sure Toyota will SAY you can fit 4 adults in the 86, just like Hyundai said you could fit four adults comfortable in the back of the GenCoupe. In reality, no one taller than 5'4" can fit in my back seat without risk of permanent neck/head trauma. I am 5'8" and I have to angle/tilt/lean forward to avoid resting my head against the rear window. I sit in the back seat while cleaning the interior just to humour myself.

Oh yeah, the seats will be comfortable and shapely, but headroom real estate is very limited in small RWD coupes (not talking hatches here, plenty of room in the back of GTi's). Basically, the rear seat is for insurance and storage.

The one thing I'm concerned about is a rear facing car seat. I've read that front-facing car seats will fit without a problem, but I think I'm going to need a rear-facing within the next couple of years, and without it fitting there may be problems.

I have an RSX-S and think that the rears will be about the same as my car.

i.e. you can fit forward facing child seats, kids will fit fine, but anybody over 5'6 probably doesn't want to be in there for more than 30 minutes

I'm not sure about other states, but in NJ it's legal to ride in any seat behind the front seats without a seatbelt (if you're 18 yo+). Aside from a lousy rear ceiling height, maybe one person can sit "more" comfortably with extra legroom?

I have seen so many accidents with un-restrained drivers/passengers. Just not worth it. Not to mention the 75% mortality rate for those ejected from a car in a accident.

No reason to not ride with a seat belt, regardless of where you're sitting in this car.

I know it's not what some people on here want to hear, since they want the car to be "practical", but I wouldn't expect the back seat of the AS1 to be good for much more than throwing groceries back there, or someone sitting there for a trip a couple of blocks away.
