Cool. Maybe add some more shake to the people footage and make the scenery through the rear window less blurred. Just my 2c's

The lighting on the talent really didn't match what one would expect from a 'real' car, and so the keying of talent is obvious.

I'd work in a 'real' stationary car, greenscreen the back window and work with the light to get the effect.

I agree with the suggestions above. The lighting on the subjects is too clean. You need to throw some "moving light" onto sides of your actors, mimicking the light coming in from the side windows.

The BG footage is too blurry and shakes too much compared to the car, which looks pretty calm in contrast.

Also, try adding camera movement in post. Unless you can playback and match your movements to the movements in your background clip, it won't work. Also, it will sell your your key better by eliminating the shifting between your actors and the background elements.
