But fitting three people and three dogs comfortably? Those had to be some smallish people and some smallish dogs. For me, it's easy enough to move the front seat to get comfortable, but it pretty much robs any room for anyone in the backseat who isn't from Lilliput.

And I'm not 6'11 like Hank, either. On the internets or otherwise.
With the exception of the 22 pound Puppy (who was sitting on my lap) none of us are tiny. The Displaced Dog and my sister's lab shared one seat, and I sat in the other. It was a lot roomier than a lot of sedans that I've sat in. I will say though that rode in the back to go see Snakes on a Plane behind a very large friend who had recently broken his foot. He pushed the seat all the way back and my legs pretty much had to abandon that side of the car.

Hands down, though, the most surprisingly roomy vehicle I've ever been in was a friend from college's 1972 VW Rabbit (diesel). She was the only one in our group of friends with a car, and three of us used to pile in the back without a problem at all. That was an awesome car. It got something like 52 mpg, which was probably good because it was a pain in the ass to find feul for it.
