Why don't cars have one seat in the front? Why do they have to have two seats? No matter how small the car is it has two seats. I say it is a waste of space. You could keep important things in that extra space. Hell you could get rid of the trunk completely.

They seem to want to come out with smaller and smaller more fuel efficient cars. They are having trouble finding space for batteries and and extra generators. I say the front passenger space would be a great place. And the extra space freed up would give the car makers some room to put in a proper back seat in case someone really needs or wants to have passengers. As it is now, lots of small cars have bench backseats or so little leg room as to be unusable anyway.

True story--one year I was going to my aunt's for holiday. I can't remember if it was Christmas or Thanksgiving. She had a Chevy Cavalier. Which being not only a small car, was a dangerous piece of shit car. So my aunt is driving and my grandmother was in the passenger seat. That means I had to wedge myself into the back. So the car being two door I squeeze into the back past the front passenger seat. Then because my relatives are normal human size there was nowhere for my legs. So I kind of half curled up on the back bench seat. I couldn't have sat up even if there was leg room anyway because God has seen fit to give me a head but the designers of the Cavalier apparently didn't think that people with heads would be sitting in the back seat of the car so they didn't add the room for one. Needless to say the ride was not one of the highlights of my life. Getting out of the car was much more fun when I had to butter my ass up to be able to get out of the back.

If they had put a proper back seat in the car and not had a front passenger seat it would have been a much better ride. Especially in a commuter car. Or an economy car. Why do you need four places to possibly sit?

Think about it. Most of the cars you see on a day to day basis rarely have more than one person in them anyway. Most cars are driven to work, parked, and then driven home. What a great way to save weight by getting rid of the damn extra seat that is never used!

Yes some people car pool. Some people take the kids to school. But lets be honest people, most of the time it is just you in your car. Making a decent car with one seat or if you want two seats put one in the back, and you can make thinner cars too. Where is it written that you have to be side by side with your passenger? That is all I am saying. Laterzzz...
