s4or s5?

there pretty nice, i mean, there really like bucket seats. but, it all depends how tall the guy in front is. it will be kinda cramped for a few hours but the guy will live, just give him a break and switch have him walk around. i know i wouldnt want to be in em for more that 5hourslol.
yeah they fold down. what are you planning on doing putting em in your coupe? or are you going to buy a 2+2? installing back seats is easy as crap(if you can find emlol!)


best wishs.

"A few hours"???
I'm like about 6' and I couldn't get into that seat at all. If you're putting somebody back there and driving yourself, make sure their arms are short or they're goingto be slapping you in the back of the head after about half an hour...

Yeah, I'm 6' all too, and it would kill someone that tall if you left them back there for hours. Its great for small kids though. I'll get some pics of the seats.

I've got a pair of seats (rear seats, that is) I'm selling, they're red, kind of dirty at the moment but I'm working on cleaning them.

it'd be more comfortable if the person sits all the way in the backseat and lean forward... definitely not much space

Who's your insurance company? Mine considers the GXL coupe and the 2+2 the same car.

I'm 6 foot, and it works for me... just...

If you are looking for more headroom, try to find a car with no sunroof, my head sits a little funny with the seat back all the way up... kinda off to one side (in the sunroof well) ...but other than that, it's not bad, loads of legroom... just gotta recline the seat a couple of notches and its all good...
