Posted: 31 Jan 2014, 20:21Well it depends on your passenger. My ex was about 100lb so quite happy with the seat always in the fully forward position. But if my brother got in, and moved it back it gets in the way. Especially if reclined much. So you need to explain to regular users to leave the seat in its forward position to make it easier.

My wife is 5'7" so we're ok but it is a bit close. When we looked for this van we noticed that all of the models we looked at had slight differences in the ramp/door opening.
