The trunk is plenty big for 4 people's worth of groceries (weekly).
Although I know other people tend to buy multiple large cases of bottled water or other drinks, which I don't do. That I can understand take up space.
exactly.
While I don't normally transport people in the back seat, there's always flexibility to do so in a car with any type of back seats. It's comfortable enough for most every day car rides which are less than 30 minutes. I've also had someone back there on a 15hr car ride.
You can't even have the option to in a Miata

Go once a week typically in my mazda cx-5 which transports kids, people, and random things.
Typically weekly grocery trip for my week of food is 8+ bags. Which fit easily in passenger seat (if i actually took the 86) I can seatbelt 4-5 bags put heavy stuff wedged in footwell and use my hand to insure nothing is flying around. I could put in trunk but risk everything flying around, and its easy to put in passenger seat. Something you could do the same for the miata. (Mommy gets her and kids groceries herself usually costco trips in the cx-5)
Maybe I’m just a nice person, I would never subject a grown adult into fitting in the rear for any amount of time. At least with the miata it isn’t even an option so you don’t need to come off as a **** trying to explain how no one over 4ft tall should ever attempt to get in the rear unless they are masochist, you could avoid that discussion all together with a miata.
As far as everything you’ve fit in the trunk. Assuming based on this being his first car he is younger probably 16-20, no kids, and the need to transport all that stuff mentioned is probably rare to non existent. Several grocery bags and a few random gym bags, backpacks, laptop bags fit just fine in the miata (what most younger, none kid having people probably transport) and if you have kids and the 86/brz is your only car your priorities are probably not in line.
A lot of good adjectives I’d describe the 86/brz, practical is not one.
