fold down rear seats

whats the reason the WRX sedan doesnt have rear seats? Dealer told me its because the gas tank is mounted there or something, but I was reading an article on the lancer said it had braces there. If it is the gas tank, or something else not for rigidity, is there anyway to make them fold down somehow?

umm, are you sure the WRX doesn't have folding seats?? every othe subaru does. gas tank does not interfere at all with the seats.

I don't know why it doesn't have the folding seats (although the wagon does), but it does have a pass through in the rear armrest.

Personally I think it should have fold down rear seats, but my gfs integra sedan has that so it's no biggie

folding rear seat

the reason why the wrx doesn't have a rear folding seat is for extra support. like the added cross member in the roof (why we can't have a sun roof). the frame of that seat keeps the body of the car from twisting.... rally car remember.

Only thing is, the MY04 does have a sun-roof option........

Okay actualy it is possible to have a folding rear seat. It has been done. I do not know alot about it but I am sure if you look on the "old site" you can find some more info on it.

I was told for sound proofing purposes.
It make the cabin noise louder when you have a fold down seat. And we all know that with the ****ty factory radio we don't need anymore noise in the cabin...

It's still funny.

As for not having the fold down's. It's an option I'd much rather have, but I've never really needed it.

Someone needs to find all of the parts to do the conversion from an older model Impreza that had rear fold down seats. My guess is you would need the brackets and the rear seats, which would have to get recovered to match the interior. I'm only interested in this for a GC8 myself...

Im with gc8guy, older imprezas probably have less trunk space than the wrx and no fold down seats. Id buy one of these kits for sure...
