sorted byI own this - standard "lol 2 person" rules apply here.
If you camp solo you'll have a great time, there is lots of space either side of the sleeping compartment (other side of the sleeping compartment opens out to a storage space).
If you camp with your partner, if arguing whilst putting it together you'd better reconcile pretty quickly as you're going to be in pretty close confines with them, having said that two self inflating mats fit quite well, they are sort of pushed together a little toward the footwell, but good otherwise.
I purchased for wildcamping on the Great Glenn Way, chose because it was lightweight and easy to put up in the rain. It survived the trip with no issues, use it ocasionally for the odd night stopover with my fiancee.
With all sloped tents like this, getting changed in them is a horrible experience, but doable.
For around this price I do like the look of this and the Zastrugi’s mentioned on here a few times (not PlanetX)… are these likely to be as good as I’ll get for weight at this price please?

I can find absolutely zero reports from people who have used the Zastrugi in the wild, whereas the Coleman is throughly tried-and-tested.
The Zastrugi is a cheap copy of a Naturehike Cloud Up 2, already a budget tent. One concerning detail I learned about it is that it has a seam along the groundsheet. That doesn't sound desirable as it could be a way for water to get in, plus from this video the groundsheet is translucent. You'd probably need a footprint for this tent which would add extra weight and cost.
Measures for the cobra below for those wondering
So when people above say this is cosy for 2 people, they really do mean it is basically 2 people sharing a single bed level of cosy, and you can't spoon in a sleeping bag to double up on some of the space!
