With the side curtains on it was pretty cozy but pretty claustrophobic.
Also found that it adds considerably to the gymnastics of getting into and out of the car. Getting out I usually end up with my hands on the ground and sort of walking out on all four. Getting in I have to crawl over the tunnel to the other side to swivel and pull my legs in. Haven't bothered with it the last several years.

One thing I didn’t mention is how weird it is to try to steer with your left arm limitted to the inner door. I have the original style 3 independent spoke 16” wheel which I reall like, but it does encourage an elbow over the side...
