Back seat - useful or useless?

The back seat was the only reason I was able to justify getting rid of my SUV to buy the Mustang as my DD. I haven't been in the back of a coupe, so I can't speak to that, but the convertible back seat is perfectly adequate, and surprisingly useful.
1. I can ride in the back seat, with the top up or down, without needing an immediate follow-up visit to my chiropractor. There's not much leg room in the back, and I wouldn't want to do a road trip back there, but it's not a problem for short trips.
2. I wouldn't have bought the car if others on the forum hadn't already proven you can successfully get car seats back there. The back seats transform it from a mere dead sexy, stupidly fast, bad ass sports car, into a 460hp grocery getter - every parent's dream!
3. I've managed to fit 18 bags of mulch in the car with the top down - 8 bags in the trunk, 10 bags in the backseat / passenger seat (full disclosure, the bags of mulch were not wearing safety belts). They were very easy to load and unload, and I could've fit 2-4 more bags if I had needed to. I was fully prepared to load it up with 20 sandbags this past weekend, but I decided I also needed a full sheet of plywood, so I borrowed the neighbor's truck.

Both my girls enjoy riding in the back seat of the stang. When I first got it they were in boosters but now they are big enough to just sit in the seats. The only reason I got a mustang vs a vette was the back seat. The backs seat can fit adults but I'm cramped as a driver when I have to move my seat up. In my opinion the back seat is ok for kids but useless for adults unless it's an emergency.

I’m 6’1. My seat position means no one could EVER ride behind me. I seriously have never had anyone ride in the back since I’ve owned a Mustang. We use the back seat for extra luggage space on trips....that’s all it’s good for.

I'm only 5'9 and unless you're an 8 year old girl you're not sitting behind me!
Back seats = useless but I love them, they are a great shape and so comfortable if you could ever use them. Currently they are a storage space for my gym bag.

I have owned a 1989, 1992, 2005 T-Bird, 2010, 2011, 2015, and a 2018, Never have I used the back seat for anything but storage, travel, or groceries . The rear seating area is pretty much useless.

You need to back off on the weights brus, then you'd fit!

My old garage before kids looked like that, maybe in 10 years when the youngest starts college I can get back to clutter free!

Useful for these little gals:

Those kids have smiles as wide as mine when I get in my Mustang!

My kids would hate it if I bought a Corvette because then they wouldn’t be able to fit in the backseat

My wife already doesn’t like it that the kids ask to ride in my car over hers

The back seat is great for my Work laptop bag in one hump, Gym bag in the other.

I'm 6ft / 200 lbs I can sit back there no problem. Top of my head just touches the roof.

I just dont believe you lol. My wife is like 5'5" and 115 and can barely fit there.

My driver seat basically touches the rear seats, theres maybe an inch gap.

The only things riding in that back seat are my two dogs.
