I'm curious if anyone has comments regarding the pros & cons of either bench seats or captain chair config for the 2nd row.

I think the bench seat is more practical (seats 3 persons) the 3 row is kind of useless as there is no vertical leg space.

Captain Chair configuration



Bench Seat configuration

 

I'd say the chairs look more classy then a bench. I utilize the back cargo area alot w/ the bench folded down. Looks like you will have a big hole between both chairs in the down position w/ that setup.

 

Love the look of the captains seats. I hardly ever use all three seatbelts in the middle row.

 

i def prefer captains chairs, my h2 has a bench and our burb has captains. the caps have a classy look to them and keep it more of a "big person" type of car. its nice to have the recliners and stuff also with the caps.

although, i have heat in the back too so its not a real big deal not to have buckets. i actually didnt know there was a bucket option on the h2 till just now. I thought about it a while back and thought it would be nice.

although without the 3rd row bench, the 2nd is nice. i would have to keep a bench in it all the time if i had buckets in the 2nd. I didnt get a 3rd row seat with it when i bought it so i like the bench.

just my .02 though,
