Rental Car Ruckus 2: Electric Boogaloo

[CaptainHenreh]

3. Who cares about rear seats in a 2-door sports car? It makes a good shelf.

You know who? I do. I mean, it'd be one thing if this were, say, an 240Z sized car. Then, I could forgive tiny little token back seats. But this car isn't a little car. it's a big one.

Let's take a look:
2012 Mustang V6 with Automatic transmission.
Weight: 3750 pounds
Length: 188.1 inches
Width: 73.9 inches
Wheelbase: 107.1 inches

Now let's take a look at, just because it has none of the visibility or seating problems *for me*, a
2011 Subaru WRX (Sedan):
Weight: 3208 pounds
Length: 180.3
Width: 70.7 inches
Wheelbase: 103.3 inches

So the mustang is bigger in every single dimension, but can only manage "a good shelf" in the rear? Gimme a break. "Oh, but it's not a coupe". Fine,
2012 Audi A5:
Weight: 3583 (with all wheel drive, mind you)
Length: 182.1 (what's that, 6 inches shorter than the mustang? Ye gads!)
Width: 73.0
Wheelbase: 108.3 (shorter overall, but with a longer wheelbase. Ok, so it's euro. Whatever.)

Audi Rear Legroom: 31.7"
Subaru Rear legroom: 33.5"
Ford Rear legroom: 29.8"

So the longest, heaviest, widest car has the least room in the back? :evileye: Oh but it has the biggest trunk by a cubic foot so I guess that's ok...
