Hi,
I have had my Passion for a little over a week now, (best car I've ever owned) and I just noticed that my passenger seat sits back a good 6 inches further than my driver seat. Is this supposed to be like this? Just curious.

by off setting the positions of driver and passenger, it gives each person more elbow room. not sure if this is the reason...

right on the money! Rob...

it's also because the battery, air pump and tire repair kit reside in the passenger footwell. (along with the tow hook, my smart was towed away yesterday, stuck stick shift of doom)

mr b.e.is totally correct, the draw back of the farther than the left seat travel is the seat belt getting caught in the buckle more times that you want to count...ask me how I know.

The other reason the passenger seat moves further back is to allow the seat back to fold forward for full length luggage loading.
