going to the rear seats is odd... because they are worse for sure... unless you don't do any adjusting or put the armrests down on the captains chairs. people seem to sit, hate them, then move on... rather than put down the armrests, slide the seat back, then recline... still not amazing, but livable for sure.
but yeah, not the best seats in the house. not even as good as the cloth seats in a 2004 grand caravan... but the folding comes at a cost. for many, worth it. who cares how comfy the second row is if hardly anyone sits there or if it's for car seats? and that is what primarily goes there. nothing or car seats. (or kids, and who cares if they are comfy!?!
