I thought an Alphared was a dog breed - glad I googled it. The GC from what I have seen is 4+1 car. The rear has two bucket seats, but a person can sit in the middle for a while too. A kid on short distances would be fine. About 24 minutes in he talks a bit about the rear seat. Review is a little dry, but saabkyle's reviews are the best when you really want to get a feeling for a car.
