I've got a 4-door GTI, and the difference in rear legroom between the two cars is significant. I'd guess that if you or your wife are 5'7 or taller, it'd be difficult for kids to sit behind you, unless the person up front slid their chair up and sacrificed some leg room. Also entering/exiting the car is a pain, since the roofline is low and the seatbelt strap has to be undone. It's possible to do, but I wouldn't want to do it often (or for long drives).

Coming from a 4-door GTI, you'll probably find it a pain. Unlike the FR-S, the GTI can comfortably fit two average-sized adults in the rear seats and they each get their own door.
