So I'm tryin to look at a 7 here locally and the guy says that he has the RARE rear seat option. I was just wondering how rare this really is?? Up till this point I never even knew that ANY had a rear seat, does this make it worth a bit more? Also, anyone here actually have it and any pros and cons to it, such as does it effect the room the driver has? I imagine that you could only fit a small animal in the back seat, perhaps a hamster, cause it looks pretty damn small.

 

He probably just bought a Japanese one and stuck it in there.

 

Well it doesnt affect size. HOwever you cant just install buckets which arent reclinable because you need to be able to get to the rear seats.

Other than that only a person without legs would fit.

 

No US models had rear seats, only in Japan. And yes, they are very small... more like watermelon holders lol

 

They remind me of the 300ZX 2+2 backseats.

Realisticly, people could still sit back there on the storage bins. They'd just be more uncomfortable

 

I have a rear seat in my american and jdm FCS
so far the only ones I've seen where I'm at has only two seats

 

+1

 

Depends on your height and size. The rear seats have in the past fit my friend (passenger side) uncomfortably altho it fit. When you sit, your bottom would actually "got stuck". Erm..probly a good example is to imagine your *** fell into the toilet bowl :lol

 

back seat is no problem if:

(a) the passenger is about 5'6 or under

and

(b) the person in front of them is of similar dimensions, and does not have the seat fully pushed back

that's not to say it's comfortable though - the toilet seat analogy is perfect.

If you've sat in the back of a gen I (not sure if they had rear seats in the US) - then you will find the gen III to be a better thing

 

they took out the rear seat in the usa verision of the rx7 to meet american standards. A back seat does sound nice though.
