We haven't done really long trips in it, but have done two trips with 2 adults up front and 2 or 3 teenage girls in back, with all the stuff for a week in the luggage area. This was 7.5 hours, then a ferry ride (se we weren't in the car), then 2.5 hours, each way. For long runs when you'd be in the car for 10-12 hours it'd be tough on the back seat folks. With little kids it'd maybe be OK. We didn't have anything on the roof or hanging off the back, but we were over the max weight recommendation of the car.
Still, we did get about 30-32 mpg running 70-75.
