Visibility to the aft quarters is limited with rear headrests (removable), but front visibility with thicker posts was not a problem.
The back seats have good depth. I'm 6'2 and I can almost sit in back with the front seats full back (and with that, there's a ton of legroom up front. 4 adults is not a problem.
My test drive and the trip home and back downtown (I put only 40 miles on top of the 30 pre-test miles) did not give me enough to really grade the capabilities, but since my last car was my 16 year old Saab 900T, I have limited experience with comparable driving machines. It felt strong and capable - I expect to be very happy with the drive.
Bose system sounded great - especially with top up, but strong in the wind, too.
Lots of touches that will be fun to play with. My sales guys will reprogram remote for auto window operation and they think the top can be done, too, but manual says not possible for safety reasons. Windows and top down shouldn't be a problem, but maybe they can't separate the functions. You can do it with the key in the door.
I am bummed not to be able to drive it until next week - taking my truck to the airport today for weekend out of town. Still, its safely in my garage. I'll be back.
