Question re Hatch Back Seats

[XR4568]

Evening all,

Just doing a bit of future car research (Titanium Hatchback Ecoboost) and got a couple of somewhat quirky/specific questions:

- Do the rear seats in the hatchback (Titanium) fold flat or close to flat - either with or without the headrests?

- Does anyone hear mountain bike? Love to know if your 29er fits in the rear with the seats down without taking both wheels off?

Thanks in advance!

OK, base of seat tumbles forward, back of seat folds almost flat without removing headrests. With space saver spare - this leaves an approx 75mm step from boot floor to back of seat; with full size spare option boot floor is same level as folded seat back.

Dont have a mountain bike, but with rear seat folded flat the area is approx the same size as a double bed - I'm 6'4" and there is enough room to stretch out and sleep comfortably.

Thanks JimStone - that sounds very promising indeed. Even if I can just leave rear wheel on and take off the front, I'll be a happy man.
