The 185's rear seats are basically kid seats. It's pretty tight in the
back, not like a 206. 206 is more popular with guys hauling people or
freight off average strips. The 185 is better for unimproved strips.
And the 185 is for real pilots.

So was the 185 ever widened?

No.

When did it get 6 seats, or did it always have 6 seats in certain guises?

It always had 6. The 180 had 6 after 1963.

In the same size plane as a 180?

Yep.

Or as a later 182?

The 182 is longer and taller, but has the same wingspan.
