Lessee.... It's my wife's favorite out of all the vehicles we've had. We can both adjust things so that it's completely comfortable for either of us to operate (I'm 15" taller than she is...my head almost touches the headliner, but not quite.) The seatbelt hits her right- doesn't saw into her neck. She likes that the step into the sliding door area isn't too high (for a van). She feels she's sitting up high and can see well all around it. The kids can see out of it well. It's actually easier for her to manuever accurately sitting over the wheels. We can fit three kids and their associated junk into it and still get two week's worth of groceries and two week's worth of household stuff in it at one shot. It drives like a car- she feels more confident with it. The A/C goes all through the vehicle- a must for the kids in this climate. She can find it in a parking lot. We're not making payments. Insurance is cheap. She's the only one in her groups that has one... it's funny to catch some SUV or mini-van driver looking into the thing, making mental calculations of their payments, insurance, gas- and wondering why there's so much more room there than they have. Then they usually mutter something about having airbags. Cya, Robert |
