Hello,

I'm still thinking about getting a '06-'08 Mustang GT. I know the backseat is pretty cramped, but is it still practical for short trips when the passengers are about 5'4"? I just want to verify that the backseat isn't completely useless.

Thanks!

All depends on the people in the front seat. I'm 6'3", nobody can sit behind me. There's aboot 2" between the back of my seat and the front of the back seat. On the other hand, if you yourself were 5"4", I could prolly sit behind you (...legroom wise. My neck would have to be broken though ).

Yeah, I'm about 6'3" as well. I sat in the back during a test drive and my head touched the rear window; would it be accurate to say that anyone under 6' (who is of avg. weight) can sit behind the front passenger somewhat comfortably if the passenger is shorter (under 5'7")?

I just drove my coworker around in the back seat. We drove every bit of 600 miles.
She is 4'11" though.
