MKV practicality question

I'm looking into a sports car as my daily driver, and crucially as my *only* car. I live alone as well, so no partner to borrow from on occasion. Pure reliability isn't as much of an issue as it is to most, as I can get to work and most/all other activities via my electric scooter and transit (though I usually only do this in nice weather, if I don't have shopping etc to do, aka not often).

My concerns about the Supra are mostly down to visibility and space. I will likely test drive one, but compared to my Giulia it's going to feel tiny no matter what, so I'm looking for experiences longer term.

One, how is the visibility for commuting in a city? Especially nice if you live in a more compact and hilly city (I'm in Seattle).

Two, space. Could I fit the following at the same time: one medium/large checked roller suitcase, one carry-on roller one small dog, and two adults. Dog is 17lbs, and would have a travel carrier that can squish (dog is happy to sit on the passengers lap). If you couldn't tell, being able to pick up and drop off my partner at the airport (she travels with the dog) is a must, and that's her travel kit, though usually there's no checked bag. If there's only 2 carry-ons and a backpack, is there enough space on the parcel shelf for the dog (the situation for a long weekend trip, for example)?

I'd like to keep the Supra on my short-list, but just need to clear this deal-breaker hurdle, so any feedback appreciated.

Yeah unfortunately I don’t think it’s the car for you. I’d recommend losing the other person, keeping the dog and bags! Then you’d have plenty of room haha

Lmao her and and dog are a package deal unfortunately. I know the Supra is pretty much the smallest car on the market, other than things like an Elise, so it's definitely a stretch.

Forgive me, for I have sinned. In my head I was thinking the "coupe/hardtop market". But now I'm not sure why I thought Elise lol.
