Do you ever sit in the back seat?

I just finished vaccuming out my P5 and parked it under some trees on the side of my house. I got in the back seat with my windows up (dark tint, so it felt really nice inside) with the A/C on a radio up. Some times I forget how awesome my car is.



On a side note: Those vents under the seat for the A/C are pretty neat, I've never felt them before.

Pretty nice and roomy back there. I've even slept in the back with the seats folded down.

...Look out for tree sap!

Sat in the back seat?...nope. Don't plan to 'sit' back there either. The back is alright comfort wise, well at least it beats other cars.

I slept with a girl (AS IN SLEEPING, JERKS) in the backseats with the backs still upright. You just have to curl up..

That and I am like 5' 7" helps.

I've been back there and it felt kinda weird. I haven't been in the back seat of a car in years!!!! The other day I was actually in the passenger seat of my car.! I never realize how comfortable it felt!!!!! I almost fell asleep.

Feels weird sitting in any other seat than the driver's seat of your own car, doesn't it? It is nice and roomy back there, though.

On a side note, the back area of a Ford Explorer is exactly 5'11" long. How do I know? I'm 6'0". Talk about an uncomfortable night...

I actually folded the seat cusions up and pushed the passenger seat all the way forward so I could stretch out a little bit(I'm 6' 2"). We were on a surf-mission down to San Diego and back. After 11 hours, 800 miles, and countless doobies, I just climbed into my board-bag and snoozed.

I very rarely sit in the back seat (only once) Its like a diffent car. I dont know about you guys I have a sedan the flat bench in the back is not the most confeterable, thing around.
Good for sleeping not perfect for sitting.

Some of the most comfortable seats I've been in was the passenger seat of a 2000 Accord sedan (with leather). I literally fell asleep in the middle of the showroom! Embarrassed, I was...
