Having several times in my military career, tried to put people who were
in "full kit" (as the Brits would say) into a civilian car I would
disagree that you could put 5 adults in a Geo Storm.  With all that
stuff (gear harness/LBE, canteen(s), ammo pouches, gas mask, etc.) [and
knowing how over-equipped the average player's character is] you can't
put three people in the back seat.  MAYBE if they're all 5' tall and
built like gymnast, but not 'normal' adults.  

Just MHO.
