With the front seats all the way back, leg room is zero, but that was true of many Japanese vehicles from the 80's and 90's. Heck, the 90's Civic I got my license in was only 2-3 inches different than a CR-Z, and I expect that's because the front seats didn't go as far back, rather than there being less room. There are other 2+2 vehicles on the road today which are also similar. See the Toyota GR86:
Put it this way - at 5'6", I could sit behind someone my own size in the driver's seat. Headroom would be minimal but I could sit upright.
The seats would be acceptable for children, or for transporting extra medium-sized or smaller people for medium to short distances. A family sedan it is not, but the seats aren't unusable, especially for your typical Japanese sized family (read: one point three children, small adults).
