Has anyone actually sat in the back of any of the vehicles mentioned? Just because a vehicle is 4 doors does not mean 4 6-foot people would be comfortable.

Mini Cooper S actually has good room in the back seat, but PITA to get there and no truck w/ 4 people.

So, Grimes, figure out how tall your passengers are and how often they'll be in the back. I find very few sedans that can comfortably seat an adult behind my when I'm driving. I always have to move the seat up a little.


Grimes: What are you comparing a "usable back seat" to? Usable as compared to a Honda Prelude? Is the Contour's seat "usable" in your terms? You're throwing out a whole lot of vehicles but it depends on on whether you need a backseat for a car seat or to sit three 6' adults (in which case something huge like an A8 or a Caddie would only do the trick).
