They do fold down easily enough but got braces in there...
Depends what you would be carrying. I'll get a link to show you the space available

I do like the 3mps but coming from my civic would feel like a downsize as my civic is more sized up to the 6MPS. Decisions :(

I didn't realise any of the civics were that big size-wise...thought you had to go for something like the Accord to meet anything akin to the 6 I had a Civic sport 7 years ago and my 3MPS seems noticeably bigger and is very practical for transporting cargo with the drop down seats. Good luck with the hunt though

Mint where are the switches for the rear windows located so that the driver can control them when there's no rear passengers? And is it possible to lock the window switches? My civic has a button to lock it so little uns can't mess about lol
