    Anyone got fixed back seats in their saxo? What are the tilting subframes like? Are they as sturdy as a recliner subframe? And is it worth even getting tilting frames because I have HEARD that its virtually impossible to get in the back!?
    I see that Martins bad boy green 1.1i has fixed back seats in the photos section maybe he could come forward.
    Thanks guys.

    if your getting fixed backs basically forget access to the rear seats, the tilt is useless as they hit the roof before any space is made.

    do you mean fixed bucket seats in the rear? if so y do you need tilting frames for them!?! tilting frames in the front r useless! scott is right they just hit the roof & i dont know how slim you r sir but you wont get in the back that way!! best go for recliners in the front... with fixed buckets in the rear... or both recliners... depends on the women situation id say... lol
