comparison with new BMW SUV

[csommers]

I rode in my cousins brand new BMW SUV
yesterday and sure am glad I have a Prius.

It rode very roughly and has very uncomfortable
seats. In spite of electric every-which-way adjustment,
they are just too un-padded and hard and not long
and wide enough to be comfortable for me.

It has some nice bells and whistles (a warning when
you get closer than a foot from a car in front or
behind you when parking is nice). I thought the
dash and instrumentation was very cluttered
compared to Prius and speedometer was very
small. It was nicely finished (as it should be for
the price).

It didn't seem to have all that much room.
It's tall, but the floor is very high, so little is gained in
interior height.

I supposed much of this is true of all SUVs-I've only
ridden in a couple others, but thought that for the price
the BMW would feel better.
