Default Folding rear seats

I was looking through the brochure and the configurator, and I saw that 50:50 split seats are a £100 option (Standard on Lounge). As standard, do they just fold as a pair, or is there nothing at all? Quite important to me carrying my Petrol RC Car stuff around and the standard boot isn't large enough. Many thanks in advance, Ollie

The seats are the same as in the Panda. If you don't specify the 50/50 option they fold down as one piece.

Would you ever need to carry three people (driver + 2 passengers) and some bulky items that won't fit in the boot? Has happened to me .. hence I went for 50/50 seats (standard in Lounge)

I've noted that the leather (211) option is incompatible with both the split folding sets + headrests (195) and the headrests on their own (182).

Have you any idea if the leather option automatically includes either of these and any of the other options that are also incompatible.

Cheers,
Tony.

Having leather automatically includes both 50/50 split seats and rear head restraints.

I have just adjusted my order to include leather seats in my sport. I was told by the dealer that the storage compartment under the front passenger seat as standard to all trims would no longer be compatible. Can anybody confirm that this is the case and if so why??

Must admit the thought had crossed my mind too. Not a deal breaker for me so I was just going to wait and see what turned up.

Regards,
Tony.
