96% of the time, I am the only person in my car, 3% of the time I have a passenger in the front seat.

I am okay with the rear seat room.

This is the best car to have if you don't like carrying around people, especially your girlfriends family .

I have the Serta Sleep number sheep in the back seat. He's little so he doesn't complain about the leg room.

I have a collection of those, one is pink (breast cancer), and even a key chain one! I'm in furniture sale and Serta is one of the brands that we sell.

I like the size of the IS, not too big and not too small and still have four doors. The size is just right for me.
