Coupe rear seat entry/exit

Since this weekend I have been in my "parents payback time" mode, I have insisted on driving the coupe even when taking the 2 kids along. (One of the kids is my height, the other is taller). A little discovery on rear seat entry/egress. It is easy to get in, but exiting is hard when facing outward. Exiting is considerably easier if done by backing out (like entering, but in reverse).

Be careful of your cupholders

DrMike, there is one more thing you need to concern when entering or exiting the rear seats. DO NOT open the cupholders at the same time when pushing the front seat forward. You would break the cupholder very easily. Good luck! I hope you could keep an eye on the people who move the seat back and forth.

As long as you don't have to get into the back seat, just smile and enjoy the drivers seat.

ahwang,

Not only can you break the cupholder, but you can also get coffee all over you car. (There were coffee stains all over my oyster seats, front and back, console too). So, make sure there is nothing in that cupholder when your moving that seat forward.
