To rover or not to rover ... that is the question

So I completed mapping Mun with Mapsat and now it is time to explore anomalies and possible locations for future bases. With that in mind I spent last night designing a self-landing rover (Using "Quantum Struts" as "laser alignment" for placing the parts in VAB...nifty!!! haha). It is probe driven, but I'd like to build a "modular" version that is able to seat a couple a couple of Kerbals. What do you guys/girls use for "seats" in rovers? Is there any "go to" 'pod' solution being used for rovers?

I'm testing out an class of new probe rover now, basically its an small fuel tank with wheels. Upside is that it only weight 500kg and with 900 m/s dV I can even take it back to orbit.

This might be something to think of for an landercan lander to. Might be an idea to landing legs in addition to medium wheels to handle hard landings better.
