I noticed that the new 5s don't have pockets behind the front seats. I use mine all the time and would miss them. Any after market options?

[nacs]

You and me both.

My kids were like, what the hell dad, are you going to have a car without seat pockets? Where do we put our stuff?

Poor things, they don't know what we are ready to sacrifice for the ultimate driving machine. But yeah, I'd also like to know if there's something that doesn't look awful.

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not using them to store maps anymore but it’s handy for my kids to put their sunglasses or a magazine/book on a short road trip.

What is this “map” that you speak of? 😜

When I cleaned out my 2003 truck to sell it, I found my old 1 inch thick Thomas' Guide from the early 2000s. Wow, the memories.

That’s great! Hehe. I still remember having to navigate for my mom and read those Triple AAA Trip Tik booklets. 😄 🗺️

My oh my how things have changed.

As a consultant I remember stacks of Mapquest printed directions from airport to client and hotel each week, and connecting my laptop to the pay phone modem port to sync email before a flight. If my inbox was over 1 MB it was basically guaranteed I wouldn’t be able to sync before boarding 🤣

Could be handy for some during an extended road trip but wow that just seems like overkill in what I’d need. I may just continue to minimalist.

Ha! My wife puts those in all her cars even when there is a pocket. That’s a nice one but no way I’m putting that in my i5. When we go somewhere with the kids we can take her car.

Todd. It's the things that came in book or fold out form you used to use to find places, before wives were there to tell us we were wrong and where to go. But seriously, I remember having those big Road Atlases to pre-plan a trip. I'd write cheat sheets to know where to turn. Then I was so glad when Mapquest came out so I could look it up and print it out.

What I remember about the Thomas Guide was that the maps didn't continue on consecutive pages. Talk about distracted driving! You're cruising along and trying flip to 'Map continues on page 79' and not ram the car in front of you. Lol!

I mostly just keep my residential parking pass in the pocket. Although this is nice, it's a bit much.

My Mercedes doesn't have them so I am used to it now. The Range Rover does, but my wife puts Doggie poop bag rolls and dog leashes in them.
