You can add the rear seats to an Evora if they weren't factory fitted ?

And does anyone know or have an opinion on this car ?

Not sure about rear seats but yeah on this car know someone who looked at it las year (so its been for sales for over 3 months) and said its rough.

He ended up spending £33k on a much cleaner car- same age, with rear seats and much lower miles, I think that speaks volumes.

Seat foams - yes. Seat belts - not a chance without a serious amount of work. Plus the cost of the parts, let alone the time would be more than the additional you'd spend on a 2+2.

If you really need a +2 just buy one but I do find the + 0 rear storage very useful more so than seats (i would just use them for storage anyway)

I have to admit I could not see any point in the rear seats given how impractical they are for most and they add a bit of weight which is of significan importance to me...the car is already too heavy to be ideal!

You can fit people in them, but it helps to have an axe and some plastic sheeting to make it easier.

Extra parts need to be welded onto the car for the rear seat belt mounts, retrofit isn't an option really. That said, over 90% of cars are 2+2 so the 2+0's are pretty rare.

2+2 seems more desirable, or at very least easier to resell.

No, it means 90% of people want the 2+2, hence more desirable wink

On another note, the rear seats weight absolutely nothing. They feel like big sections of foam!

I've got the 2+2, the rear seats are useless for adults, you'll get one only in the back and they're not suitable for going any distance.

I only bought 2+2 because we've got two small dogs who both fit on the back seats nicely, otherwise I'd just have gone for the 2+0 as the storage is better.

Ripped mine out when I thought water was getting in....just Velcro keeping the seat base and back bit in place IIRC. Have put them back now though. I think 2 plus 2 will always sell better. I just love it when people say you'll have to get rid of that when you have kids...a two seaters no good. fk off. Jealous . It's got four.

I've had a few people give me the 'you'll have to get rid when you have kids' speech.. Quite a sight the look on their face when you show them the isofix mounts! hehe

I took the family out to a Deadly 60 Event last year in mine.

The driver of the car next to me did a double take as my 2 daughters appeared and he blurted out "where the f**k did they come from?"
