This is a great car for large families. You have an extensive amount of cabin space, so your legs are not cramped. However, the cargo space leaves a bit to be desired. Once the third row seat is up, you will find that your tiny trunk space is no different than that in any other SUV. Nonetheless, you still get a much larger cabin that has a lot more room, so that is a plus. I think it was much more comfortable to ride in than our Pathfinder. The ride is also very smooth, and has a ton of power. I barely have to tap the gas on this baby and she goes. I would say one complaint about the ride is the blind spots. It is really hard for some reason to get a clear view over my left shoulder to change lanes, when this should be a very simple thing. The right side is also blocked by a head rest that must be put down in order to see, so that is an issue. I think there are some design issues here that should have been addressed. Also, this thing guzzles gas like crazy. Plan to constantly be pumping gas. Other than that, it is a very nice and safe car and I have enjoyed all the luxuries that it offers for sure.

We purchased this vehicle because we wanted something more "upscale" than our minivan, with more hauling power and more options. The styling is obviously much more appealing than the minivan, and of all of the large SUVs, this one offers the most "bang for your buck" for sure.
