The back seats in them fold up and fold away and can actually be removed too, so you could have it in a two seater config and use the back to put all your gear in like a regular van, except cooler

Hungry on the juice though.

I know what you mean by it being hard to find a good one at the right price. My wife and I found ours by pure luck. Its.a 2010 base model xt in white. We paid 20k for it with 60k on the clock. This was around 6 months ago from its first owner. Its fantastic on dirt roads, very stable and quite fun being a turbo too!

Best of luck
