I am a big guy and this is a big car. Most of the time when I get into a car, I feel very cramped and a lot of times my head actually touches the ceiling. This car has plenty of headroom and the bucket seats are very comfortable. The ride is smooth and the road noise id very minimal. I can get my entire family in the car and pack it for a week long trip with no problems. I can also remove the third row and lay the second row seats down in order to get my bike and triathlon equipment or woodworking equipment in. Also how can I forget that it can carry numerous surfboards or paddle boards on the roof.
