As for carrying people in back, do we really want to add that much weight to such a light car?! It's best to carry one person at a time, and get them to the destination as quickly as possible, then return for each additional person individually. If there's noticeably less tread left on the tires when you're done, then you know that you've done a good job
The issue with two door coupe is that when one in the rear seat needs to get out, whether the front passenger or the driver need to get out first and tilt/slide the seat for the ones in the back to get out. That is the pain for 2 door coupe compared with 4 door sedan.

I would be surprised if Toyota/Subaru do not employ such a system in FR-S/BRZ.

Since this car is dubbed as 2+2, there could be situations where carrying 4 people is required. So for folks < 6' this is a possibility. I understand for some people that it is better to treat this car as a 2 seater, but other people have their requirements as well.
