Worst SUV Ever

I'm chocked by how Bad is the space in the back of this vehicle, just about the Worst I ever got into. I'm looking for an SUV to buy, and because of shortage and dealers abusing and overcharging by a lot, I have checked almost all 2023's trying to find one at the right price and that we like it, it's comfortable for a family, , good on gas, etc... so, I checked the Lexus UXh-250, Kona, Seltos, Tucson HEV, Sportage HEV, Eclipse Cross, Outlander PHEV, Rogue Sport/Qashqai, Rogue, Kicks, Rav4, Scape PHEV, Equinox, Buick Encore, Envision, Trailblazer, Equinox, Tiguan, Taos... By far the CX-50 is the Worst SUV out there for a family. It will be great if it is only for two people, front seat is great, great material, finishing, technology, name it, but, if you try to fit anyone in the back, unless is a small child, this vehicle is Useless, just about a nightmare. I'm only 5.5', my wife is even smaller, 4.9'and she complained about the space. I got in, to get out, I have do to side ways, couldn't get my feet out, it is so tight that my feet was kind of stuck under the front seat. I try to get in the middle, impossible, too small, couldn't get in the middle. Did they fired the Engineers for conceive this Horrible SUV? If they haven't yet, they should, this car is by fart the Worst for space in the second row, worst even the small cars, I have a Corolla and has plenty of space in the back, and if a small guys like me can't seat comfortably in the back, no one in North America can, since for a North America standards I'm very small. SUVs are meant to be a family vehicle and if you can fit anyone in the back, then this vehicle is Uselless.

I am very disappointed with my 2023 Preferred Plus. I had to visit the service too many times, dealing with major problems like engine oil leaks, front axle failure, and steering vibrations, and still, all kinds of weird voices were coming all around the car, which the service says. Putting all that aside, the steering wheel and suspension are so stiff makes driving so inconvenient, to be honest my my Honda motorcycle was more comfortable than this car.
