They recline all the way. Rear seat legroom is adequate for tall people. I wouldn't put a basketball center back there, but a couple of guards or a shooting forward would fit with no problems. The trunk behind those rear seats is a good size and is rated at 12 cubic feet. We used it primarily for grocery bags and for carrying a lot of stuff.
