Evo X back seats fold down?

I know the washer fluid and battery have been placed in the trunk to distribute weight, but does one of the back seats still fold down? Fitting my snowboard and hockey sticks might be a problem if there isn't that extra length.

Even if they did, you would have a big structural support, a battery, and window washer fluid in your way.

the X's trunk seems to me only about half the size of the previous chassis too...which sucks. i always liked having a big functional trunk in my VIII. i'm going to laugh if people start getting battery relocation kits to put it back under the hood, along with putting the washer reservoir somewhere else, to free up trunk space...

I like the battery in the trunk. Makes it cheaper for audio install.

Yeah I finally saw the new X in person this past weekend, including the MR! I was shocked at how small the trunk space was. I realize this is a performance first vehicle but damn that is tiny!

What exactly do you mean by space in the middle? Do you mean like where the armrest in the back seat would open up to allow ski bags, etc.? From my memory, no it does not. I could be wrong though. If you compare the cubic feet of this trunk space to virtually any car it's extremely limited. Even my Cayman S has more luggage space so that should tell you something. Of course I can use both the front and back for storing things
