Is the back seat room for hauling passengers as impractical as it appears to a potential 6'er owner with no seat time. My wife has a 2 seat vert so it would be nice to have a four seater in the family but not absolutely necessary if the back seat in the 6'er is at all usefull.

It depends on how tall you and individuals in your family are, I find the rear seats to be absolutely impratical for adults and teenagers to be seated in... Believe me, I hear all kind of comments from wife/kids, friends and co-workers.

iam 6'1 and no way i can fit back there without tilting my neck.

But i've had people in there who are probably under 5'10 without any problems... but still very tight for back and front passengers.

it really depend on how far. i use my 650 for lunch trips 1-2 times a week. we drive less than 5 miles and carry 4 adults, ok. but more than that type of trip its not very good for 4 adults.

Wow, I didn't realize how tight the backseats are in the 6er.
Although it sounds like it has a lil more room than a 911.

Definitely more room than Porsche. I am 6"2 and I fit there, but only fit, I don;t really feel comfortable in the back. And it is not so much leg room, or hip room, or torso room, it is more of a head room issue!
