Stigma About The Back Seat

[xtspode]

I have got a lot of comments from friends about the fact that unless you are driving, you have to ride in the back seat. That has not been much of a problem for the motorcycle, but it seems to be for the Elio.

I know that the Elio needs the tandem seating for the aerodynamics, and I like it a lot. I think the Elio is a really good looking machine. It is not dumpy looking at all, but I still get complaints about riding in the back.

I am also OK with not having anyone back there because I travel alone most of the time anyway. My Sister in Law though thinks that this will not be a great Date car. Is this a real deal or is the Elio just for committed spouses? Would your significant other ride in the back behind you, for more than just one test ride?

What Say Ye?

It's a great date car if the owner is willing to sit in the back.

Is there a fully reclining power seat back option listed on the Elio configurator?

Um I think you might be over thinking an Elio. A date car?
If you're worried about impressing a girl with a car, you're dating the wrong girl.

It's my own opinion and nothing more.

Not so much a Date car, but the title of the thread being if there seems to be a stigma with having to ride in the back seat.

does not appear to be any recline in the rear.

The backseat of the ELIO will be a special place. There should be a sign.

Date car? Well you'd best get used to bending over backwards. Ohh wait. That's what you do in a relationship anyways..

No I plan on impressing her with my suave and sophistication, I think once I explain how the Elio really benefits the world, and the number of places we can go, then I am sure she will be even more impressed. But when it comes to riding in the back seat, is the consensus, that she would rather take the rusty (classic) truck, or the Caprice Station Wagon? You successfully married guys and gals need to help me out on this one.

I thought that was just my experience.
