Rear Seats

Post by Izanagi » Fri Jun 29, 2012 5:31 pm

Having Never been in a Lude I'm wondering if somebody can tell me about the rear seats. (still doing the research)

I have been in the back of the newest shape Hyandai Coupe rather uncomfortable my head hits of the rear window and im 5' 9". I'm wondering if any body on here has been in both and can tell me how the 5th and 4th gen Lude measueres up. if it has more/less/same space as the Hyandai.

As im still that tiny bit un decided between the Lude or civic Coupe :s

I'm 5' 10" and I can sit in the back of the lude fine, it's got bucket seats so it drops you down from the window a bit further :)

Leg room is the issue in 4th gens, unless you have size 1 feet, or sit side saddle then its uncomfortable for those in the back, or those in the front if the seat is pulled forwards.

It's fine for the occasionals. I've had a 15 st guy and 10 st girl in the back behind me and a 18st 6' 2" monster for 3 hour round trip and they were fine.

I find the boot a lot more use on the 5g than the 4g if you use it for any of that kind of thing.

Yea it's not. Best thing to do is take a look at one and hop in to see for yourself ;)

As Alex noted, you can get a lot in them I've crammed a fair bit in mine, 1 big suitcase in the boot, a Aussie girl (we all know Aussie gals are built) and two of those huge travelling backpack things in the rear and a 6ft+ Finnish guy that looks like techno viking in the front.

I will say the ride suffered though :roll:
