BMW fans will feel right at home. Step-in height is barely more than that of a wagon. The tilt and telescope-adjustable steering wheel has controls for the audio and cruise control systems. The power window lifts are on the doors, American style. Storage space includes large door pockets, a console box with CD holder, and a medium-sized glove box.
Noise levels are low.
The rear seat offers more room than is found in some larger SUVs. As mentioned above, cargo space is less than might be expected, but should be adequate for most use. The two-piece tailgate operates very easily, and the lower portion has a trick plastic piece that automatically covers the gap between the tailgate and interior when the tailgate is down. Perhaps the standard suspension is better. The sport suspension seems designed to win the autocross at your local truck rodeo.
