You wont get anyone in the back really.

Have had 1 adult in the back on short trips, but the front seat needs to be quite far forward and or the person needs to sit sideways.

Couldn't get a kids seat to fit in the back for our 5 year old grandson. You are taller than I am and I know I drive almost horizontally but the seat is right back.

the reason for the 'seats' in the back is that it makes it a 2+2 and therefore a cheaper insurance group. lol

Having said all that it is a great car to drive and fun to own.

I have a 2005 (6) 430 SC and an 8 year old daughter. with my wife in the front passenger seat my daughter who is tall for her age has loads of room in the back and is quite happy.

She loves it with the roof down. I can understand some drivers with long legs who have the seat well back, find it limits the use of the rear seat behind the driver but for me its no problem

On top of that I went to the airport (on my own) with two large bags and with the roof up they fitted in the boot no problem I thought one may have had to go on the back seast but it was fine.

Great car much more flexible and useable thatn many seem to suggest.

Thanks for that info , yes i could see myself get one , i will still have the Ls for long or airport journeys with the kids.

i can put up with the mid life crises joke but the kids and misses will love it

I love my SC, but in no way can you have anyone in the back for any length of time.

My wife for example is only be 5' 1/4 inches tall (never forget that quarter inch), but she still feels very cramp in the back.

So for a short drive it may be ok, but for any longer, cramp for the rear passenger will set in and the driver will get an earache from that quarter - be warned!
