    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.
