How much space would you say there is between the door frame and seat after sliding it forward? My dog isn't wild about jumping over things, so ideally there's a decent amount of room for her to step into the footwell, then jump up onto the backseat.

The car sits low enough to the ground that Apollo almost walks in. He will jump in if he's particularly excited about going for a ride.
I put the front seat all of the way forward; I'd say only a young child could sit in there comfortably, maybe also an adult of smaller build/stature.
That said, I really don't need to do that. He doesn't really use the extra space, preferring to lie down across the bench. If he curls up to sleep, maybe only his head goes into the footwell area (which is loaded with folded pillows to make a raised surface).
I would think a pretty good sized dog could fit in the back. Not a Great Dane, perhaps, but I'd say a dog up to 120 lbs could easily fit & be comfortable, if it's used to riding in cars & prefers to lie down & sleep.
