My Saturn seats five. In all the years I've owned it I've only had five people shoehorned into it once. Most of the time it's just me and the gear I haul around. Even so, I manage to get 36 mpg out of the beast. So I certainly don't begrudge you the Subaru. I had hopes of getting a Venture 1, but Venture Vehicles seems to be running afoul of the myriad problems associated with bringing a new vehicle to market in the US.
