Being able to use it for school drop off / pickup and short trips with the family is perfect.

The space is highly dependant on how tall the occupants are. I heard the second gen may have a tad less rear space than the first gen...probably due to thicker front seats.
Lots of people say the rear seats are useless, and they are to a degree. But alot of those people are over 6 feet tall. Im 5'-7" and theres barely enough leg room sitting behind myself in my ideal driving position. I can move the seat up a few clicks without compromising drivability but my legs end up being bent a bit more than i want. We used a rear facing child seat on the rear seat passenger side for a time, and the wife (5'-3") was able to squeeze into the front seat, but the seatback is too upright (and more reclined and it touches the car seat...which is normally a no-no) and the headrest being normally tilted forward a bit doenst help. Front facing child seats arent too much of an issue though. I think i can put one behind the drivers seat but my son is only 2 and he'd probably be kicking the seatback. I think realistically either a younger kid in a car seta or a booster seat would be acceptable behind the driver.
Unless of course you are six feet tall...then your seatback touches the rear seat and theres not much you can do with the space.
