The XJS rear seats were useless too, Good thing my kids were ten and under when I had that! They would not fit back there anymore
I don't think anyone with legs can fit back there. I'm not even all that tall. I'm like 5' 11" and with the seat in my driving position (and I like to be close to the wheel) there's no even three inches between the back of my seat and the front edge of the back seat.
It's like they scooped out two buckets (it's two bucket seats in the rear, with like a dividing console between them that's just a divider) and called it good.
Here... I went and got/made a link from a video. This one obviously isn't mine - mine has a roof.

Yeah... It's that bad. You might get an extra inch or two, as I'm not as tall as the driver in that video is. But, it'll only be an inch or two, at best.
may as well have made it storage
Yeah... There's legitimately no reason to have the seats - as far as I can come up with.
And no... No, it's a fucking myth that car makers include back seats to make the insurance cheaper. Insurance companies aren't actually staffed by retarded people. Adding a seat doesn't fool them. They don't care if it has just one seat, they use actuarial tables that are really fucking accurate 'cause insurance is a high value service and they're heavily regulated.
