have doubts?

We've test driven palisade a few times and like it. We have a $500 deposit down for a 2023 calligraphy delivery in a few weeks. We are paying a 3k market adjustment.

We sometimes feel like we would prefer a bench seat in second row so that my wife could go in between the car seats and help kids with whatever they need. For a road trip, seems like being able to do that while having back seats folded down to hold all the bags etc makes sense. Problem is that we like the heads up display and safety features in the higher trim.

We haven't really found any competitor that has what we are looking for in the same price range either. The Mazda cx9 grand touring prob fits the bill but isn't as nice feeling and the infotainment sucks.

Also, I wish the palisade had wireless Android auto and carplay, but we've never had either before so don't know how important that is?

I've read a lot of people getting the standard extra warranty. Why?

Thanks!
