Without the rear fill I am without the intended audio environment. For music, the front is enough MOST of the time. If you are an audiophile and have sacd/dvd-a media, then you really do need rear fill. Several sacd and dvd-a disks were recorded in surround. I also have some of these and enjoy listening to them in my other car and soon in my BRZ. Again, without the rear fill you are missing the listening experience as intended.

Again you are comparing a car to a home enviroment. Do you even know of any headunits that will play SACD in car? I'm pretty sure there are none.
So you would need processing to actually make use of the rear speakers still. Slim to none offer true surround sound either. Unless your source unit has it then you aren't actually doing anything other than cloning the front output. Thats all rear is, a duplicate of the front output in 90% of car stereos.
So even if you are listening to dvd audio in a car, its still not surround sound just incorrect imaging from the rear. Unless you have one of the few units that do 5.1.
If someone wants to run rears fine, but there's no reason to have false beliefs of whats going on.
