This probably means nothing to a lot of people, but it's one of the key differentiators in my opinion - that it was one of the design goals for the car probably speaks to the intentional niche it's found. I mean, I also really like being able to haul a set of tires and all the rest I need for a weekend of racing, and still fit a passenger.

This is what keeps it interesting in the car market, I guess.

One of my main requirements is that my car must be able to hold at least two people and their golf clubs. Many of the two seaters can not do this. I have even managed to get three people and their clubs in the car a few times. It did involve a very Tetris like planning session involving removing clubs from bags and strategic placement in the back seat but it was totally doable.
