you should see when you take the back seats out you realize how little space there is back there for the passangers.

No no, the back seat does not fold down. Now we only need 5 more posts...

Lack of folding rear seats is a drawback and while it's true that it helps body rigidity, I think it was done to save money by eliminating the need for extra bracing and design complications. My M3 has folding rear seats and I can tell you it's super rock solid.

I would get a movers blanket or at least a drop cloth to lay down in the trunk before you put your bike in. Or get a folding bike; I got one and it works great.

LMAO I got a folding bicycle and was trying to figure out if I could move the rear seats down...lol no such luck.

Corolla XRS also doesn't have folding rear seats. But whatever...the folding bicycle fits in the trunk just fine!
