I have a 1.5 tent, same idea.. I would never do something explicitly labeled as a one person tent. Mine works well, something from Alps Mountaineering but no longer in production.
I scored an old Alps Mountaineering Mystique 1.5 for like $10 at the local thrift store. It's cozy but it's very easy to carry, both for motocamping and backpacking.
Went on a 12-day through hike in Norway a few years ago with 2 friends. All of us bought a different tent for about the same price. One bought this Quechua one, I bought the Jack Wolfskin Gossamer, and one bought the Alps Mountaineering Mystique. The Quechua was the worst quality overall, the Mystique was the best footprint/pack size, and the Gossamer was the best bug netting/materials at the expense of packed down shape (very long, which actually helped with outside backpack attachment) and you can’t sit up in it really. I don’t remember weight differences but we all managed just fine carrying our own tents up mountains with our 65L packs, and ultimately all did the job well enough.
