Wonder if a rear facing car seat will fit in the back? By the time I would be ready to buy one, the little kiddo should be in a front facing seat.

This pictures are dashing my hopes of fitting a small adult human behind the driver. Maybe a baby.

Looks about as spacious as an Audi TT rear seat. As long as the fronts are comfortable & supportive, I can count on one hand the amount of times I had rear passengers in the WRX, so I'm not worried.

Yeah I'm hoping to get an EJ207, either in a BRZ or in my wrx if that doesn't work out, or maybe even a factory five 818. Maybe I'll hit the lottery an get all 3

That is all I ask for. Wife or buddy can sit in front with me. Just need back seat for times I need to drive the kiddo. Have wife's car for family duty/road trips.

I would also guess that they've pushed the seat back as far as it can go so it's easier to see the front, take pics with camera in hand while sitting in it, etc.

I'm assuming that if the passenger pushed the seat up to their knees you could fit a kid in the back behind him.

Not ideal, but let's be honest - it's great for insurance purposes and for folding down in a pinch for more storage. Looks like it'll be as usable as the backseat in a Dodge Stealth

It looks as if the rear seats are designed deep so that the arch of your knees will be able to sit behind the front seats.

True for most cars. Remember though, this car wasn't built for numbers. The ITR requires a shift to third for 60MPH unlike the lower trim Integras, I've never lost any enjoyment driving the car because of that.

I like the black tach a lot more, but like the font on the toyota more.. not that it really matters either way it would have been nice if they stuck with the same font though to make swaps (in both directions) require just the tach..

I cannot find it, but in a TRD model there where three center gauges.

I want that and not nav.

I saw the same thing, but I had a different opinion, but Dave cleared up the "apparent" difference.

Hello,

I found a pic of the center console.

What do you think about the watch?
