This is how I did it before I got too old and stiff in the joints to do it.I've found it more comfortable to sit in front passenger seat, push it back and recline it. Slept like a log, until someone bashed on the window and shouted, I nearly had a heart attack.
Can't read it without signing upAgree with what others have said I bought one of these and have worn this inside my sleeping bag works a treat

My first car (a Skoda Favorit) you could remove the headrests from the front seats, push them all the way forwards and recline them all the way back and the top of the seat joined up with the rear seats.
I wonder if there's any more modern cars you can do the same with....?
Expect to be woken up with a blazing torchlight in your face when the police approach your vehicle in the middle of the night to check it out.......it is a long time since I slept out overnight in a car, the last time being about 20 years ago in the Yorkshire Dales when I was abruptly awakened by the plod and asked 101 questions as to who, why what etc......I suspect in recent times those questions could be somewhat more numerous and more in depth!!
Can't remember but i only hope it wasn't Chas and Dave I remember (unfortunately) they were there.... And Fairport Convention.... Remind me....Last time I did this was over 30 years ago in the car park at Sun City in Boputhatswana after a Queen concert followed by 4 hours of roulette and yes, lost the lot :-(
The "Hotel Sierra", I remember it well. A 1.6L in Blue
The only other time was in the motorway services on the way home from the legendary late seventies gig when Led Zeppelin played Knebworth. I was shattered and my dads old Maxi was perfect for kipping in.
Footnote: No googling it - Who was the opening act that day ?
You might also consider a youth hostel. Dirt cheap if you stay in a dormitory room and many are in stunning locations.
True and when you look at single rooms it can be cheaper to go b&bCan be worth it but the snorers and farters can be a problem.......

I've had a few nights in my Passat. It's OK when you are exhausted. One night was at 2km in the pyreneese at -2 C.
Large SUV or Transporter are much better and would allow throwing in a mattress bare minimum. It is much better than camping in skimpy tent with all the wild animals and thieving hippies.
yes, I got attacked by a fox in the middle of the night in my tent. Good job I keep an anti jihadist/rapist/hillbilly/theiving scum bag hammer on me. Sleeping in the car wins over that grim experience every time.
Easily done.It probably mistook you for a pound of sausages, Steve.......

Why?My Rav4 (2004 model) does this. One of the things I look for in a car is being able to fully recline the driver's seat by pulling a lever rather than having to wind a wheel-thingy for ages.
Its really an interesting read. Thank you for sharing it with us here.Interesting article:

Didn't realise my wife had stayed at hostels.Can be worth it but the snorers and farters can be a problem.......
Word of advices I always sleep with windows rolled down and I have a tarp that I chuck over the car and peg down, just means no rain comes in and also we don't wake up with loads of condensation!
Yes it was Chas and Dave that opened the bill that day.
Well I've decided my next car is going to be the Kia Sportage. Hired one while in Ireland and it's big enough to lie down in.
