I am just wanting to express my feelings concerning the headrests. I am 5' 4" tall and the headrest is the most uncomfortable thing, it pushes your head forward. If I were hit hard, there isn't support and I would probably break my neck or have a neck injury. . The only remedy, is to turn it around and then you have no support. I do not own this vehicle, it is a rental. I would not buy one at this point.
