Okay, so I’ve been on this quest, right? To find a new ride. And not just any ride, but one where my ridiculously tall teenage son can actually sit comfortably in the back without his knees knocking my seat. We’re talking serious rear legroom here. So, I started this whole process, and let me tell you, it was a journey.
Digging Through the Internet
First, I jumped online. You know, the usual – checking out car review sites, manufacturer websites, the whole nine yards. I spent hours, I mean hours, just scrolling through specs and pictures. It’s kind of a blur, honestly. I made a list of all the SUVs that even claimed to have decent rear legroom.
Hitting the Dealerships
Then came the fun part – actually going to dealerships. This was… an experience. I dragged my son along, of course, because he’s the ultimate test subject. We hopped in and out of so many cars, I lost count. Some were okay, some were definitely a “no-go” the second he folded himself into the back seat.
Sales guys… oh, the sales guys. They all had their spiels, trying to convince me that their SUV was the best. I learned to tune them out after a while and just focus on the actual space.
The Measuring Tape Comes Out
I even brought a measuring tape with me. Yeah, I was that person. I wanted to see the actual numbers, not just rely on what some website said. Some of those “official” measurements felt a little… optimistic, let’s just say.
Finally Found Some Winners!
After all that, I narrowed it down to a few contenders. I created a spreadsheet (because I’m a little nerdy like that) comparing legroom, headroom, cargo space, and all that jazz.
Finally, I made my choice.
It was a lot of work, but hey, my son can finally stretch out in the back, and that’s what matters. Mission accomplished!
