HAVE YOU PUT SOMEONE IN THE BACK OF THIS CAR?

Let's be honest, there is no leg room in the backseat of the BRZ....

but is it possible? if so, how uncomfortable is it?

My 7 year old, ever since he was 5 when I first got the car. Kinda sucks for the person in the seat in front of him. The solution is to get him to remove his shoes so he can put his feet up on the centre console if needed.

7yo in the back. 9yo in the front. 5 days a week. It won't work forever, but it works for now. I figure another couple years.

Im 17 with a height of 5'9" and I can comftorably fit in the back seat as long as before the front seats are put back that I slide my feet between the 2 plastic seat supports on the floor. it gives hardly and room for movement, but I could sit behind like that for a good 2 hours.

Mind you this is with a 6'0" person in front of me in the passenger seat without feeling uncomftorable.

I'm 5'6" and have pretty short legs but it still tough for most people to sit behind me. The most recent solution, and I've done this a few times now is to have 2 other people in the car and have the third person just sit across the back seat. Not really sure how you would fit 4 in the car unless they were kids or all my height haha

if the person/people are small(er) it should be comfortable enough... i have had my friends daughter in the back for 5 minutes. she is 5'2'' and probably 100lbs tho.

I've had myself and 3 other adults in the car countless times. I wouldn't want to drive more than a half hour or so like that, but its definitely doable.

My 6-yr old son sits back there in his child seat, with my wife in the front seat slid all the way forward. When he gets too big to fit back there comfortably, we'll probably put him up for adoption.

My 5'5" coworker. She's thin and flexible though, so we made it work.

I'm 6'1 and push my seat almost all the way back. No one sits behind me, nor are they able to. But two shorter people can fit in the passenger and rear seat.

We've fit 4 full-sized adults in an FRS. I'm 6'1" and sat behind someone that is 5'9". Other dude in the back was about 5'9" and sat behind another guy about the same height. Wasn't terrible (I've been in worse back seats).

The main trick is that you have to put your feet on the floor, then slide the front seat over them, wedging your feet into place. That's where they will be the remainder of the trip, so pick wisely.

Hitting your head on the roof/rear window was unavoidable, to me, without bending towards the middle...in which case I hope you like the person next to you.
