Adjustable middle row seats?

Hi there, I'm a new member, but have lurked for a few months. I was just wondering for those who've experienced this car in person, are the middle row seats adjustable manually or electronically? We've ordered the car and it's in the dealership waiting for us, but I'm starting to have doubts. This is just one of the small details that I would like to know before I make the trek into Manhattan. Thanks in advance!

Yes, the second row seats are manually adjustable. I would think the reason for this is with a folding seat adjustment for access to the third row and with the seat able to fold flat for cargo room, adding electronic adjustments would be costly and probably a nightmare somewhere along the line. The adjustments work easily and without any difficulty. IMHO this would not be a reason to not buy the car.

Thank you Nevada Jack, I'm not basing my choice of getting the car on this small detail, I was just curious for the sake of the comfort of people in the back seats. This is a car that would be used primarily for transporting to a weekend house, and comfort and maneuverability, while not the deciding factor on my choice, are important
