I think that you would be fine for a few years, but once your boys start really growing it would be a squeeze. Still, it depends on how tolerant they are in the car - if it's a short drive that's done infrequently they should be fine. I can fit behind myself, with just a lack of foot room and head room making it less than ideal.

Hmm
I am only 1" taller, but with my comfortable driving position even my 4 year old has no room where to put her feet behind me. I actually have to bring the seat forward and drive in an uncomfortable position if I need to take my kids along with me. Mind you I have done it, but only for like 10 minutes. Otherwise we also have a minivan to drive the kids on longer trips like OP. Driving them to school everyday... might get annoying.
I would suggest to take your kids to the dealership, hopefully they would have a car there all can get in and see if this is doable. Otherwise its all guesswork and even with same height people have different proportions
