I used to have a vw vanagon. IT had some problems, but it had a really great feature. It had rear-facing jumpseats. This resulted in all the seats having lots of legroom. When VW switched to the eurovan, they put the jumper seat closer to the back bench. My question is, is there another car that has a similar seat configuration to the vanagon?

I can’t think of any new cars. Checker cars had jump seats. At least when configured as a taxi.

there are after market seats made for nearly any model suv and wagon. i’ve always loved the range rover fold up side seats myself.
