I did not get the third row.....my 'kids' are both in college, so there was no need. Based on my examination of them when we test drove they are quite nice for what they are......seats for young children old enough to buckle themselves in but not so old as to be cramped by them. Probably 4 to 5 up to 12 to 13 is the useful range (ymmv!) Little use for mid to late teenagers or adults (with the exception of the very limber and or small frames.)

I did get the premium sound...I like it but it is expensive for what you get ('four' more speakers, '400' additional watts, dsp surround sound and a six disk dvd changer that is largely useless if you use an iPod and or sat radio (i have both.)) I knew that I could do much better for much less $ after market......but finding stuff that would mesh with the iDrive and not void the warranty really led me just to pay up.
