Fold Down seats definitely have its benefits!

Fold down seats definitely have its benefits especially since the TSX has such a huge trunk. Why in particular you ask? Well I was driving a long distance home one night, I was really tired and noticed that I couldn't drive anymore since I was almost driving out of my lane. So I said to myself "hmm, okay I'll pull over into a parking lot and sleep", so then I thought "hmm, If I fold down the rear seats I can use the trunk as a bed!" So I did! it was actually quite comfortable since I used a sweater I had in my trunk for cold days as a pillow. So yeah ... I don't know If it'll work with tall people though but myself being rather short (5"7) I fit fine.

a lot more creative than me hauling 2x4s in the car (carefully wrapped around though).

Sweet! I actually did that as a kid with some fold down seats. It was quite fun. Never thought about doing it like 15 years later. lol
BTW, as for the trunk. When you press down on it, does the little cardboard thingy under the may flex for a couple of inches before it hits the spare tire? Or is it already resting on the spare? Mine if you put your hand on it will flex downward for a few inches like there's nothing holding it, then it'll hit the spare and be solid. Kind of makes me think i'm missing something there that the dealer forgot to put in. lol

I bought these pee in a pouch things at Kragen that worked great. There's gel powder that turns into gel w/ the pee. It works for both women and men. Awesome for when I was coming down the mountain and stuck in traffic.

Soopa told us about this a while ago, you can (unless you or your partner is rather large) very easily with legs in trunk and go to town! Never thought of actually sleeping back there though- good idea!

Don't know about women, but I always thought one of the advantages of being a man was we can pretty much pull over to the side of the road and answer nature's call. Guess I missed the memo saying we should stop being men.

Didn't pop the back seat down, but let's just say the back seat is broken in correctly!
