I have never ridden back there but I spent over an hour contorted in those little bastards cleaning the louvre trim the other day. I would imagine I have had those seats folded down 98% of the time I have owned the car. That flat storage space is damn handy when golfing or running errands. My wife and I joke that the 2+2 stands for room for 2-2 year olds (which we happen to have).
