What’s an easy way to find out if certain cars have split fold down rear seats? Is there any way faster than just reading up on each and every model?

You could go to dealerships and have a look at different models… but reading up on them is faster and a lot less stressful.

Start with the one you want to buy and work from there.

Almost all cars now have the split folding rear seat. Some exceptions are the Honda Civic (one piece), the Toyota Camry Hybrid (not folding) and a few others. If you google [Cars.com](http://Cars.com), you can quickly review the specs. However, some seats fold down lower than others. That part you have to test in the showroom.
