hey does anyone know if the IS seats fold down??

 

i wish! no it does not. Theres just a hole

 

It's a joke that the IS seats don't fold down especially with such a small trunk. Even my friend's TSX seats fold down..

 

i dont think its a joke. but it would be nice. Maybe a design thing

 

I guess we should be happy that we have the hole. They didn't have to do that either. If u want ur seats to fold down buy the RX

 

I was told it was to give the body more rigidity (a la safety). But I sure wish they did fold down.

 

your car is telling you it doesnt want to carry big things haha

 

lol haha

 

exactly and i have a perfect excuse when people wanna put big things in my car lol

 

when i purchased my car, i asked the fleet manager why this was.. he said it was meant for the infrastructure of the car.. basically if your car gets flipped or hit and twists or whatever.. the car itself can withstand more damage and its more of a safety design

 

And with design and time comes greater design. In the 2010 ISC they put additional rigidity in the car and the back seats fold down.

 

^^ of course they had too... its a convertable. You loose alot of rigidness (if thats a word) just by making the car a convertable. Don't forget about the hefty weight increase that comes with it.

 

even with the rear trunk being small as it is, im glad they dont fold. it forces me not to put too much stuff in the rear, which just makes it heavier anyway.

 

Even with fold down seat in my previous cars, I barely have the chance to use it

 

my snowboard fits in the back seats. my golf bag fits in the trunk. grocery bags fit. what do i need the fold down for? if i ever need to haul something, i can borrow my dad's SUV.
