I hopped into our Veracruz to run some quick errands and was immediately struck like everyone else by the cool lighting in our dark garage. It was a short lived awestruck moment.
As I started rolling along I noticed I had a very high level view of the car and I'm not even all that tall. I just thought it was a previous drivers setting and I hadn't fully adjusted the seat. But no, it was just the seat. I felt very uncomfortable at such altitude, like I was sitting on some large puffy cushion.
The power adjustments did nothing for me. It turned out to be my Nigel Tufnel moment of the day.
The seat would go none more lower.

I hate the driving position too - I keep hitting the lower button thinking there's just an extra mm of travel. On the other hand, my wife loves the car and the seats and driving position.

In other words you like to be boxed in like a Chrysler 300C. Big windows are scary.

the interior does look nice. I think if they make the exterior a little more distinctive, it would be a really interesting crossover.
I know they already are doing very well though.
