2004 Forester

1. Back seats folded down, it is flat and a road bike, 26" mtb or 29er will fit laying down with wheels on. Bikes also fit standing up w/ front wheel off, you may need to lower the seatpost or take it out. Secure w/ bungee around the headset/fork to the tiedown on the side.

2. Yes seat folds flat. I have not slept in mine, but my sister does all the time, she is 5'3" and made a comfy little pad to lie on

3. Big YES! In fact, we are currently looking to buy a 2-3 year old Forester to use on longer trips. Subies rock!!!
