The rear seat is usable only as a package tray, though it does serve to hold a second carry-on bag. see full Mini Convertible review |

That and MPG are the only real faults so far after 15000 miles and 15 mons. I think our 2001 GC has more seat comfort although the 07s seats do fold over easier than the 01s. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |
