Default ANY REAR PASSENGERS 2nd Generation SC430?

I would like to know whether ANY of the Lexus SC430's, 2nd Generation from 2001 to 2010 vehicles, have enough room to seat one (1) adult behind either of the two front seats (so three adults could go on a trip).

Or, is that an impossibility?

Diagonally, yes

Seriously, yes. If the front passenger has short legs and moves seat well forward then an average sized person also can go behind them. It's very tight and all down to the length of legs.

Thanks for the replies. LOL! That's what I was thinking . . . that it would be a very TIGHT area indeed! I was just thinking that there might be one particular year (of this generation) that may offer a little more back seat room than all the others but apparently not.

Thanks again.

It's doable for three adults to ride in the SC with the top down for up to maybe an hour.

With the top up, an adult would last no more than 15 minutes in the back seat, if anyone is sitting up front.

For an emergency situation, it would certainly work, but not for normal "cruising".

You can get two adults in the rear seat if you cut them up into small pieces.

Default Rear Seat Useage

It is doubtful you will ever use them. My old 912 had the same problem with "Sorta-Seats", although I did have the dog back there once. Only once.

I've done it while riding around town, and it wasn't horrible. It was such a nice car, my family members wanted to drive it, so I sat with my wife in the rear. I'm 5'10".
