Default SC Backseat?

Hey guys, I am looking for a new car and the SC is right in my price range. I am coming from a 2GS and am not really feeling the whole 2 door thing. I love the exterior styling of the car but if the backseat is like the new SC then i'll have to pass. Anyone have any pics of the backseat leg room?

Thanks,
Elliott

The SC backseat is relatively small, not sure how it compares to the new SC. I think it is has more room. But overall it typical of most 2 door cars with a back seat. I'll see if I can get some pics...

I've fit four people in my car before, you def need to slide the seats up a lil . I would say its not that comfortable. I hit my head on the glass a lil, and i'm only 6'2".

From what I've seen the 430 basically doesn't have a back seat for actual humans.

While I wouldn't say the 400 backseats are luxurious and comfortable, they are useable. You can sit 3 people fine, and and 4th person ok...their legroom depending on how the driver adjusts the seat.



These 2 have the front seats farther back then necessarry:

The back seat is actually not that bad. I think it just depends on the size of the person who is going to be sitting in the back. The SC430's back seat is wayyyy to compact to the point where you cant even call it a 4 seater. But still very very nice!

Being 6'3"+, I drive with the seat all the way back. This leaves maybe a foot between the front of the rear seat and the back of my driver's seat. When I have ever had to seat someone behind me, I will move my seat up until they fit well. Thise leaves me enough room to not feel cramped. I could probably drive with the seat in this position for two hours before I would get sick of it.
