In defense of cars with useless back seats that are really just an upholstered parcel shelf, the reason they're included is for insurance classification. Without the back seat, it becomes a two seater, with the associated insurance penalty. I'd rather pay a couple hundred dollars more for the car and have a useless back seat that weighs 30 pounds that I can remove then pay hundreds of dollars of insurance cost every year.
