It's to prevent passengers from entering or exiting the car on side where there is most often traffic.

If anything, Paladin, it's a safety hindrance. I'd hate to have to try bailing out quickly from behind the driver's seat if the car stalls on railroad tracks with a train barreling down on it.

I stick with my cheapness assessment. ;)

That may be what the powers-that-be SAY... but yes I concur with the cheapness assessment. And I also think it could be a safety hindrance as well, like RoswellGrey mentioned.

I don't normally carry rear seat passengers, but for example just the other day I went to the grocery store to pick up a few items, and with my other 2-door cars I would always fold the driver's seat forward and put the items in the back... something I can't do with this car. Not a major issue mind you... but a damned nuisance nonetheless.

Yankee, I like seeing the Charger COP Car being retired. Nice replacement Bro!;)

To tell you the truth, I kinda miss the cop car. I think it should be brought back. ;)

I'm gonna weld my doors shut and weld the passenger seat in place. You want to ride in the back? You figure out how to get there! :-)

:D:D:D Well, the real reason for getting a two-door car is to discourage anyone from riding back there.

Going off what a local GM for Chrysler said, the drivers seat is non folding due to the power, heating, etc. I thought it was bunk as I have had cars with power and heated seats that folded but what can you say, its their story.

The driver seat not folding forward is not a safety issue, it has to do with the power back angle adjustment. When you add the power angel adjustment, the back can not be disengaged for a quick flip forward as the non-power passenger side seat can be.
