I have the wagon and the Barn Doors were the reason I looked at the TC in the first place. Once you get use to the mirrors and the Back up cam the center post will not be an issue. The utility of the back doors is much better . As for the latch recall lean on the dealer . They want to move that car and will get the latches pretty fast if they know the sale will go through

Once of the stories I saw on this issue when researching my TC purchase mentioned that they just shred the soft goods and recycle the steel on these seats. Seems a waste since they could likely sell them for more than the recycle value.

For me, the deciding factor on the barn door / lift gate decision was the rear window visibility. Backup cameras are great but when you learned to pull out of parking spots by looking out the back window, that small camera screen is hard to rely on. And a test drive on a van with that big double pillar dead center in the rear view limited visibility too much for my tastes. After the fact I've also come to appreciate the shield when you come out of the grocery store to find it raining. It'll cover both you and your cart so you can take your time loading.

Yes I did get a good deal on one. That was the reason I got the 13 instead of the 14 but I also like the looks of the 13 better.
