It can hold 7 people (3 kids in fat boosters) with ease and entry and egress (compared to the ridiculously difficult first generation MDX; I have not tried modern SUVs) was very easy and painless.

I agree that the Bose is a "low level" unit that was not impressive. The HUD is a very nice feature to have in this kind of vehicle.
