Can’t adjust the seat properly. Passengers slide more easily when cornering. More material required for upholstery and padding.
As someone who has had both, bucket seats are way better than bench seats.
The bucket seats have all that material and padding down each side so I don’t think that point stands.
Bench seats have material and padding all across the middle of the whole car…
“Ah don’t wear a seatbelt because muh sisters cousins friends uncles neighbors mechanics grandaddys brother died while he was wearing a seatbelt and couldn’t get out of the vehicle in time to avoid the freight train that he was too blind and deaf to see or hear coming.”
Fwiw, there’s seatbelts in that image. If you wanted to sit closer, you could cross the right belt over and buckle it into the left buckle, and buckle the left belt into the right one. You could use the same method to secure a 3rd person in the middle. As long as nobody’s too fat.
Stickshifts and safetybelts, bucketseats have all got to go, when we’re driving in my car, they make my baby feel so far
I NEED. YOU HERE WITH ME. NOT WAY OVER IN A BUCKET SEAT.
I love CAKE, definitely my favorite band. Did you know they give out tree saplings at their concerts?
Cake is awesome. I heard about the tree saplings.
…and now I have that song stuck in my head.
It’s all good until safety is a consideration
I have never met a country boy who’s first concern was safety.
The stick is on the column, you could still put seat belts on these just like back bench seats currently. Folding armrests as well. These already slide back/forth for the driver to reach the pedals.
In college our basement had the bench seat from a passenger van in it. Easily our best piece of furniture.
As an engineer I agree. Bring them back.
