Who cares you buy this type of car because its practical, useful and adaptable not for going to cruises!
Comfort
You could have a party inside it's cavernous and the sliding doors are perfect for kids and car parks driving distance is not as bad as some other makes but seats seem a bit bench like.

Annoying that they keep certain parts exclusive for selective derivatives.
