ok, im trying to decide wether im gonna keep the back seats in my KE70 2 door wagon.
4 seats:
i can take more people in it (legally)
2 seats:
more room for sounds
more room for bedding
lighter
can be registered as a van and i can %5 tint the back windows
if i took the back seats out i would replace it with a sub & 6x9 box cos the 6x9s sound like crap when just stuck into a interior panel

i say keep 'em, need them in case the bro's wanna come 4 a cruise, plus if you wanna take bedding etc then just take the seats out!
besides im pretty sure you can tint the windows with 5% in any wagon anyway, weither it be 2 seats or 4

I say 4 as well, simply because I hate it when I can only take one person with me in the ute when I drive it. It's better coz then you get you get to take ur friends out instead of the other way around

keep'em. 2 seater car could get annoying . however, if you dont like leaving your car anywhere and you have a 2 seater its great, cos another mate with 4 seats usually ends up driving when u all go out.
Suppose it depends on wot require the car for

2 seats sounds good as, more room for sounds, 5% tints, and you can sleep in the back if you are too pissed to drive home. Its like having a van without the "mazda bongo" factor

Two doors should have two seats, four doors (ghey) should have four, plus with two seaters you can fit non-reclinable buckets.

It depends - How often do you cruize people around?, or do you use the FX for that?
