Why do they make such small back seats in some cars?

Darcie Peraha: Insurance is a lot cheaper for a 4 seat car than a 2 seat car, and with cheaper insurance more people will buy the car, even if it only has tiny back seats. The rear seats on my mom's Mini cooper come right up to the back of the front seats, and are only suitable if your legs are as thin as a piece of paper. Its crazy!...Show more

Toshiko Reimers: It's a means of population control.....

Susan Rambo: Because most occasions a car is for a family, mostly a family with younger children. And it is cheeper.

Tana Dumoulin: Doesn't it cost less to own a 4-seater than a 2 seater? That would explain why car companies make symbolic 4 seaters to attract buyers so they can pay less insurance on them?just my 0.02

Travis Colomb: So they can say it holds more people so they can charge more but they dont have to pay extra for materials. Its all about profit

Adan Stribble: ^^^ good answer, I like them more for when you're hauling people around, ! you can put the people you don't like in the back as well.
