Well yea, my point was all stangs should be dragging nuts, they are almost sports cars. The back seats are worthless, just to have them to sell the cars as practical when they aren't really.

Ya I agree, its usable but hovering in the realm of not being practical. My point is a Mustang IS more practical than a Vette in every aspect. Arguing anything different is just silly to me.

Well, the stang has a smaller trunk, doesnt ride as well, is larger and harder to park and manuver in traffic, gets worse gas mileage, is louder and more annoying to driver and neighbors coming home late, is metal so if it hails it gets fucked vs the composite bouncey panels of the vette, has much higher insurance rates, but other than that, yea it is more practical.

Most of which you point out are personal opinions.

My mom, 4 year old in a carseat, and her 9 year old sister all fit comfortably during a 4 hour drive from OKC to Irving. Just moved the front seats forward so the girls in the back could have leg room. I seriously can't imagine full grown adults having too much more trouble. I'd be slightly cramped but, I don't think it is unrealistic to think 4 people can't reasonably fit in a Mustang. I'm 6'0 though. Not sure how tall you guys are.

I wouldn't consider using the Mustang as a long trip vehicle just due to the comfort ability factor but it can get the every day tasks done no problem. I guess I will truly know soon as I have a newborn coming in 6 months.
