Sat in Back Seat Yesterday

I got a chance to sit in my backseat yesterday and had plenty of room on both passenger and driver side with front seats in mid position. Had at least 3 inch of knee room and the seat was actually fairly comfortable. I am of average height and don't understand the reviews of a useless back seat. I could see me back there on a long trip if I had to. Its just a normal seating. So I cant figure out the problem unless you are over 6 2.
Are peole nitpicking just to be bitching and hating on GM because Obama saved them?

I'm 6 foot and when I sat back there I had the sit with my neck crooked because my head kept hitting the back window. Not to mention it was nearly impossible to get back there.

Yeah, like the others posted... it's more about the headroom. When I took the Camaro for a test drive, my wife sat in the back... everytime we accelerated fast... you could hear her head hit the back window. She's only 5'2". (granted... she's got a big head)

As for "Obama saved them"... I don't care who was in the White House at the time, no President would have let GM fail. (I'm no fan of that kind of logic, failure sometimes is the best/only way to learn... but it is what it is.)

Ding Ding Ding............................

I was asked told by family members that I'd get tired of having such a small back seat.

Of course I was honest with them....... I just said, "No I won't, I'll be sitting in the driver seat.

What the hell.....There's a back seat?

At 6'4" I'll never make it.

And let's leave the Obama/politics out of a Camaro forum, please. My bloodpressure already goes up when I have to read about the must---s.
