Another question...

The Motor Trend article answered the "space behind the 3rd row" question. Thie picture clearly shows more then enough room to get by with. Now only one potential problem exists. I am wondering if the 2nd row seats will slide forward enough to allow my 4 & 6 year old to get into the 3rd row. Removing the center console is not an option since we need the DVD player. I can't fold the 2nd row seats because my 2 year old and 9 month old will have fixed car seats in the 2nd row. Any thoughts???

Thanks guys....

Yes the second row seats will slide forward for entry into the 3rd row, but without the seat back being folded to some degree an adult would probably have a tough time. However, I would think a 4 and 6 year old would be able to squeeze throught the space. You will just have to wait and see one in person to see whether that will work.

I don't know if you have seen this picture or not. It looks like with the seat forward but not folded there would be enough room for your kids to get into the back row.

Yes...the seat is adjustable in front/back movement and the seat back can be tiltled from upright to reclined. I think the folding action of the seat back is related to entry to the rear seats like in a coupe entry.
