I think the armrest in the SS is great. I keep the tire gauge in there, an old Pioneer faceplate case with pens & pencils, the MP3 interface cable, and there's still tons of room in there. Then in the tray above there's more room for stuff. I keep the occasional MP3 disc or two in the crevass beneath the radio.

I didn't realize until recently that the back doors in the Imp have map pockets as well.

And i have to add, while we're on the topic of storage, that the Diablo fits nicely under the flip & fold rear seats...plus it's a good area to hide other stuff.

They are complaining about the MC, the Impala storage is great. . .. I find more and more reasons every day that I like my Imp more than the MCs

It is a grocery getter with *****. . . . .but I guess after trying, and failing to get in the backseat of the MC I decided something with 4 doors was the way to go. If I get a two door car. . it will only have two seats

only time I get in the back is when I'm cleaning the interior... just did it yesterday as a matter of fact... I'm 6', 230lbs and I get in and out ok...

and why were you getting in the back seat?? you'd be driving, don't worry about the back seats...

that's what I said to my mother-in-law... LOL she says "You got a 2 door??!!" (cuz we have an 8 and 10 year old)... I said, "Yeah, why??!! I'm not ever going to be sitting in the back!"
