The large dog is a Golden Retriever - his pillow-loads of shed hair will subtly blend into the Sand Beige carpets and leather never to be noticed (actually he won't travel in the car that often - maybe once a week - and we will be getting a cargo liner/mat).

The 5 year old is a neat freak (like her mother) and has left fewer marks/stains on walls and carpets of our new house than I have in the last 3 years. We are getting the rubber floor mats for spills however...

I agree the high seating position of the GX took some getting used to for me, but my 5' tall wife loved it. Thanks for the warm welcome.
