Had the same problem this morning with ours.
Spent a couple of hours scratching the old head then gave in and got the handbook out,and no the back seats don`t sit flat.

The lack of folding flat seats is one of the disadavantages of the new model over the older one - if you'd seen my 08 model today full of safety boat gear for sailing you would understand why this missing feature in the new Sportage is a disappointment.

It does seem a bit of an oversight that I can't really fathom out. I'm 5'10 and don't exactly sit close to the steering wheel, and even so when I fold the seats flat there is a lot of space in front of the seats that would allow the base to fold up. I suppose there must be a reason for it but it does seem odd.
