seats seem like an afterthought, almost a complete waste,however one can "get" the reasoning behind them! is it fair to say they fit smaller,oriental people?

Secondly, I had the same thing happen and was stuck in the driveway for 3 days until someone heard me crying for help. Lucky I had bottled water and a carton of Twinkies in the trunk.

Hey everybody: SHE'S A GIRL!!!


LOL Had to do it again, sorry.

I went in one way cleaning the windows, and couldn't get out. For 3 minutes, I actually was stuck. Very hard to turn around. I eventually got out. Phew, I definitely will not be back. I also got my hand stuck under the passenger seat trying to retreive my lipstick. There's virtually no clearance. I want to state again, I'm not a big person!
Has anyone else got stuck???
Thats sooo funny. i one time got stuck too vacuuming the back seat and i then i accidentally pulled my seat back... and i couldnt reach for the handle.. n it took me a while to figure out that there was a string on the bottom to pull to move the seat.. T_T i was getting frustrated too... cause i didn't have my phone on me in the car.. the vacuum was on and it was Very loud.. and i am a LITTLE bit claustrophobic haha !
And it is true... when a girl talks in a thread everyone is so surprised and start getting more active in it lol

I've got one of these and I'm not entirely certain I'd have cleaned the rear windshield without it.

Looks like I really am underweight after all, or at least according to these girls.... *shrugs* o well, I like being tall and skinny.

Lol I'm 5'6" and there's about 2 inches between my (driver's) seat and the rear seat... I guess I have long legs?...

No.
Not unless they don't have legs and/or feet. I'm sure the back seats are there for insurance and tax purposes.

2 kids in child seats fit back there and they love it - "Can we take the fast blue car??"

You don't like the seats, fold em down and voila - 2 seater. Though I agree a liftback would have been more useful. Same look, just have the trunk and rear window go up.
