There's a back seat?? j/k I have had only a few people back there. They said that once they got it, it was fine but you have to be a contortionist to get in!

The back seat is fine for kids but anyone over 5'2" will have head room problems. I've sat in the back of someone else's coupe and was not comfortable; I'm 5'6" and my head hit the back window.

Yeah it sucks when you are tall. I sat back there one time just too see how the fit was and I had to slouch like crazy. I'm about 6'3" though so not really suprising. My friends have said it's comfortable except for the headroom issue.

The rear seats are seriously only meant for people who are about 5'3" and under. Girls usually never complain and say it's actually pretty comfortable. But I've had some buddies sit in the back and they were not feeling it at all.

i'm 5'8" and didn't have any problems. just getting in took so damn long bc the auto seat motor. it's not so bad as long as the person in the front gives you some legroom!

The backseats are only meant to carry pictures of your friends.....not the actual people!

I had to take some co-workers to lunch one day and it wasn't pretty. I had to scoot my driver's seat up to where my nipples were nearly touching the steering wheel......AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE MAN BREASTS!!!!!

Well, I'm only 17 so the people around my age group that sit in the back never have complaints. Most of the taller ones would say if anything that while the leg room is great, the head room is not.

If you think the G's seat is bad, you should try getting in the back of a 300ZX.

I definitely wouldn't want to spend much time in the back. In addition, when driving with other people in the back I've found that I have to scoot my seat way up in order to accommodate their legs.

I tend to think of the back seat as something that exists only for special situations. I'm glad I have it, but I don't really like to use it.

Glad it's only my kids (3yr. old and one due Tuesday) that will ever be expected to ride back there.. ...on rare occassions.

While in the back seat, detailing, I wondered how our younger owners fit their friends back there. It wasn't happening with me at 6'.

On the other hand, my first two cars were a '79 280Z and then a '83 Turbo 280Z, both 2-seaters, and I routinely had 2 passengers with me. A buddy with a Fiero, back in highschool, had 6(!) other people in his car with him one night (one laying across the dash), so I suppose you figure out a way to fit.

I have two passangeres in the back and one in the front almost every night they never complain too much. Last summer i had an audi TT if u think a G's back seat is small get in that or drive it with 3 grls in the back ad you and your buddy up front. But yea when you must make room you make the room
