 4 of us carpool 1 way 30 min.  Backseat ok for normal size.  Gas mileage could be better but luv, luv my dream car.  Someone is always commenting about it as I did for many years b4 I bought it. Coworkers are happy I finally bought it because they were probably tired of me talking about it for about 5 yrs. I don't have a garage, unfortunately, but it is great in the snow.  Haven't had any problems to date.  Love to go riding on beautiful days with the top down.
