Well, i have sat in the passenger seat of my car heaps with mates driving, but the other day i did a first, and sat in the back seats.

Its is quite pimpalicious sitting in the back. I have to admit, i really love the lines of the rear door and the way you feel when in the rear seats.

There is enough leg room and all, and the windows just make you feel so VIP being so dark, specially with the arm rest down.

I know this car isnt anything in luxury compared to my old celsior (which i loved it backs seat too) but damn, it feels good.

Anyone else sat in the back seats?

PS. Must really compliment the engineers for the leaning rear seats and the roof arm holder things, they mesh really well together :D;)

I rode in the back of mine when I first looked at it to buy, as I had my old man with me and the (then) owner in the car too. The owner took us to a nice quiet area before he let us drive, and I sat in the back behind my dad.

I gotta say, I quite liked it. Very comfortable to travel in, and enough room for me (I'm 5'10" tall, which I guess is about average for a male) to stretch out.

And yeah, those rear windows are pimpin'! :D

I've only sat in the back while rigging up stereo bits in the doors or cleaning out all the junk i throw back there. there is plenty of room, but i have my seat a fair way back (6'2") most of the time. only when i need to have passengers do i move it forward. the electric seat takes forever to move and is a pain to get back just how i like it.

Do the electric seats have memories?

Terminal - But when they fold down, the carpets rough. Dont forget to bring a blanket.

Sleeping the back of the car isnt that bad actually. Only issue ive got with it is that it gets REALLLLLLLLLLY cold during the night. Need to wake up, turn the car on for 10 minutes, mega heat it up an repeat in 2 hours.

My electric seats don't, the series 2 might, i don't know.

I have a boot protector in mine, big plastic thing that stops the carpet getting damaged, but yes, a blanket (swag) is required

it's great with the rear sunroof uncovered or open, you can see the stars for a bit, until it fogs up

Cant fit in the back seats without the seat reclining to the rear heaps and front seats forward as far as possible.

Cant lay down in wagon space as my ankles overhang the edge!!

Thats what happens when you fill up a doorway!

my S2 doesn't have seat memory. they're electric adjust,and manual for angle in the rear.

while we're talking interior stuff,is it just me,or does anyone else think the remote back seat release levers at the back of the hatch are pretty cool?

Justin...

If they did, they are probably thinking, OOh heck no, here comes that fat.....

Seriously folks, if my kids could talk they would agree, being in the back seat is sic...fully sic. They look pretty chuffed though, sitting up in their maxiriders. And with those tints, just think of the money I've saved on Baby Bans.

I have almost got the 2y.o. to say "HOON"

For me the most depressing thing about those silver handles in the boot is that I cant use them...damn maxiriders. But that electric boot closer....ooh baby, silky smooth. If I ever slam it by mistake I have to open it again and let it self close, just to watch it.

P.S. Not being greedy, but no one else drives it unless their carrying a 22K bank cheque. I havent quite swallowed on the insurance premium yet.

Everyone I've shown that to agrees that it is an awesome feature!

There are so many little features in our cars that are so ahead of their time/intended market that it's a spin-out. It's all the little things that we've only just started seeing appearing on new cars, or only if you were prepared to pay prestige-car (and usually European car) money.

Oh yeah, I've let a few trusted souls drive my car since I bought it in October, and I find not only that I enjoy being a passenger, but also seeing the reaction on the faces of those who I've let drive it.

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
