I8 back seats are usable

I went out last night, took three people to dinner, took three ppl from dinner to the club and then four people from the club to my place in the city. I'm not saying the back seats are ideal but they can actually fit human beings!

Try that in a Porsche or Aston Martin.

Lol I know I cannot fit in the back at 6 feet, but for short people yeah it's doable.

At 6', I can fit in the back....but would not want to travel more than a mile perhaps, in a pinch.

For young teenagers or kids, it is fine in the back. Our family of 4 went for a week's trip to Scotland last summer with no problems, including luggage.

I do move my seat forward slightly more than normal, when I have a rear passenger though.

I did specify the white leather interior with white headliner in my i8, so the rear would not feel closed in.

Mine interior is white. I didn't think about that. Good point!

Please. For their own safety's sake, make sure that your back seat passengers have at least one year practicing yoga. It's pretty much a requirement in order to get back out of the car.

I own no garage queens. If it's in my driveway, it's been ridden hard and put away wet. ...and now, with a light crust of Maine road salt.
