Seats

In normal coupe cars the seats backs flip forward to allow people to get into the back.

The manual mentions this is possible by pulling some loop, but I can't find it.

Is this possible or not?

(Yes I know there are rear doors before someone states the obvious )

There are rear doors. They seem to be the major talking point of the car, I even get people asking for my autograph because I'm in a car with 'freestyle' doors. Why on earth do you want to flip the front seats forward? Its so easy getting in the back. Mazda also makes a car called the "6" which has easier access into the back, maybe you should consider one of those.

I didn't say I had a problem with getting in the back doors - just curious that the manual mentions flipping the front seats when it doesn't seem possible to.

From what I've experience you can only move the fronts seats forward (or fipping them back), by haveing someone sitting in them and having them actually slide their seat to the front.

If the front seats are positioned for max legroom and it's only going to be the driver and 2 rear seated children - it would be very nice to have a side lever on the seats to be able to make the seats automatically adjust for easer entrance or exiting ... (all in all it's still pretty tight in the back)

So yes, I'd like to see this feature added!

If you're sitting in the drivers seat, reach to the close side of the back of the passenger seat, there's a loop there which will cause the passenger seat to flip forward. This should be in the little things thread.

Amazing! I found the seat loop! Still learning new 'little things' after 4 months! The car's like a bloody treasure hunt!

Did not know that either.

Any reason that the drivers seat does not do that or does it?
