Back seats would be more or less useless. I much prefer storage bins, it gives you somewhere to hide stuff from view. I know that for someone to fit behind me when I'm driving they'd have to be a leg-less child.

I am swapping mine to that.

Mine has a back seat... The only one to ever ride back there was my mother in law... She sits in one seat and puts her feet in the other... I cant imagine the discomfort...

Mine came with nothing but aflat surface, but I just added bins last month. Basically the seats are nearly useless except for small childen or amputees. If you see a pic of them in the car, you'll see why. I think the back of the front seat hit up against the front of the back seats when all the way back.

The seats fold down, so there's no less room than a binless, really. You can leave small objects on the seat when it folds down, so that recovers some space if necessary. The partition is actually useful to keep things from flying around back there, too.

Sorry, but if there is a full gorwn adult sitting in the front seat, then the back seats are useless. If the driver is short and can move the seat up, then shorter people can use them ok. And yes, sitting sideways can be done. I had to do that in my dad's Austin-Healey (similar back seats) once I got to about 6 years old.

That's far from useless. It's exactly what they're made for - "if you need it" seating and seating for young kids. It's obvious the car isn't made to drive around four 200lb 6 foot men, nor will it be particularly comfortable for the backseat passengers anyway, but it's safe enough and does the job.

Out of curiousity, is there room in a vert to fit rear seats? I know there is a little bit of room back there under the wind deflector (or if it werent there), but have never seen any of the rear seats before. I doubt the vert was even made with the mounting points for them, but if it was... passenger torture time!!

didn't know you could get the bins either covered or lidded.
that makes me one who has two bins lidded.
how do you get to the bins that are covered? just lift the carpet?
can you even see the bins with it covered?
if so, that's a major advantage of hidden bins.
