Can a 14 and 11 year old fit in the back seat
I am looking at a car 4 hours away, thinking about taking the family on a weekend vacation to see it and potentially buying the car and driving it back.
Down side is the 4 of us will have to drive back, wondering if it will be torture for the kids?

I have definitely had passengers over 5ft tall sit at the back of the car. Will greatly depend however on yours and your wife's height and how far forward you can comfortably push the front seat.
It wont be an enjoyable ride though.

Can they comfortably hold the lotus position for the 4 hour trip? If yes, then maybe it would work.
If not, the teen (and pre-teen) will hate you more than they already pretend to now.
If you buy a convertible, put the top down. That will drown out some of the whining noise.

My wife is not crazy about the jag but she will be comfortable in the front seat. Maybe the allure of another convertible will overcome the kids' discomfort.

I've been known to fit three girls in the backseats who are between 5 feet and 5'4" and a bro in the front passenger seat who is 5'6" during a 30 minute drive. However, they were all drunk, so I don't think they felt much pain.
This past thursday I had a 6 footer in the backseat, with the top down and a 5'10" dude in the passenger seat. The 6 footer was complaining about lost circulation to his legs whilst the other guy and I were laughing uncontrollably. This was a mere 10 minute trip.
Anything is possible, as long as you can allow a small modicum of space for their legs they may sit there. Obviously, a convertible will be more comfortable because of the headroom.

On the positive side, it would be a memorable trip that would forever be a part of your family's history whether is was good or bad, you would all be talking about it for the rest of your lives.
