I've been doing 100+ gigs a year for the past couple years and I have loading/unloading down to a science. The rear doors are critical for quick access and saving my back. My cabinet and other amp-related stuff stay in the rear hatch area with the rear seats up and the cover on. I keep it there all the time so I don't have to move it to/from the house. Only thing I'm usually loading in are my basses, and those slide into the back seat in a gig bag. If I had a 2-seater, I'd have to move the front seat forward and then lean in to put them in the back seat (the gig bag is a double so it is fairly heavy and unwieldy). Or I'd have to move amp gear in the hatch area around, pop down the rear seat, then slide it in through the hatch. Having rear doors makes it very quick and easy on my back.
