I was able to put an adult and my two small children in car seats in the rear. I have been able to take my family of four, with luggage, on road trips.
I have been able to clean up after the kids, and they have not hurt the interior. Up front, everything feels good and has held together.
The 2.3L had enough performance and got better mileage than the V6. At 65mph on cruise control, it can get 29 to 30mpg fully loaded with 4 people & luggage.
