so just because it doesnt have a handle to pull and it does it automatically for you, that means its not accessible.hhhmmmm. i guess im used to not having a handle do the work for me. but then again, i havent rode in the back of a 2 door car in a while.

I didn't say it wasn't accessible, I said it wasn't easy access.

Most two door cars traditionally when you pull the handle to release the seatback, the seatback moves forward and the bottom cushion slides forward on its track to its frontmost position at the same time. Your passenger then gets in and as you sit in the seat it slides back to its original position and you're off.

That's the way it is on the passenger side of my Cobalt.

However, when you pull the handle on the driver's side, the seatback flips forward, but the cushion doesn't move, you then need to reach around to the adjuster under the front seat and then slide the seat forward manually on its tracks. The passenger can then get in back. You then need to manually slide the seat back on its tracks (kind of close to where it was) and push the seatback into the upright position. But neither the cushion nor the seatback return to where they were. You then need to adjust the relationship of the seat to the wheel of the pedals and manually adjust the rake of the seatback to get it back to where you like it.

It's not about being "lazy" its that you can have someone go around to the passenger side of the car and they'll be in and you'll be on the road before you even get them in the back on the driver's side. It may not seem like much, but it's a pain.

And when you have to do all the above and stand there waiting for a power seat to travel as you do in the Challenger, it's even worse. Accessible, yes. Practical, no.
