I once heard the Karmann Ghia's rear seat described as "suitable for a small sack of groceries or a medium house cat".I did actually look at the 7-seat model at launch. But when it DIDNT come in the top EX trim, I discounted it immediately.
Thats when I discovered the lack of spare too, so that again was another reason to dispense. And the two rear most seats are only good enough for a Smurf or an ant....
