The organization of the trip, the communication and the driver were all perfect on the Pamir Highway. The scenery is fantastic, accommodations were sometimes basic, but always friendly. My only regret was I found the 4 people too tight for the car, especially that we had a plus size lady in our group. When I had to sit with her on the back seat, I felt squeezed. It was way too much body contact for 5-8 hours a day. The heavy-set girl often nodded off, slumping over like a sack of potatoes and squishing me against the door. So it is really a question of luck who you end up traveling with, unless you book the whole car for your own group. Retrospectively, I would rather pay a higher price, but have only 3 passengers in the car (i.e. 600-650 USD, and the total sum for the car would be the same).
