Rear Seats up or down?

Do you drive with your rear seats up or folded down? I found that with down you get more view in the rear view mirror, helps sometimes. I don't typically have anyone in the back but I probably do 50/50. Half of the time up, half of the time down.

UP 99% of the time... helps keep the few things in the back from sliding around (I use the net when necessary)... Plus I like the look of the SS seats...

Did this too and the view is much better!

But I also have the shelf in back up and the HHR cargo-holder on top of that--doesn't obstruct the view and gives me more extra space to carry more stuff (I keep a gym bag with extra clothes/sneakers, emergency stuff, etc. in it).

So, seats up and have my CAL teddy bear strapped in the middle seat too!

I usually have the rear seat down, better storage, and my Greyhound likes it too. I carpeted the seat backs with red carpet that matches the red in the interior of the SS black/red and it looks factory, plus prevents stuff, including one large dog, from sliding at every turn.

i really can't vote

since i got a panel i would have to say down. and i am thinking about removing all that cool plastic storage stuff too. if anyone has done that , i would love to hear about it and see some pics. i found a pic online , where a guy put wood in his 06 to make it a panel- it looked pretty good. i think all that nice plastic wastes alot of space that i could use.
