It all depends on how it's shaped and where it fits.  In a 240 hatchback, if it's just behind the driver's head, it wouldn't encroach on the rear seat passenger's head room on the passenger side much, since you are almost directly under the top edge of glass for the hatch.  What would make it uncomfortable is the loss of lateral space.  

The seat behind the driver would be much worse since the diagonal rear support is on that side.  Either way, unpadded, it does pose a greater threat to their safety.  I've rarely had two passengers in the back of my car (twice I think, once to the movies and then the trip back).  I can do without it when the time comes.
