Maxx is also good at handling cargo, since it has nearly 50 percent larger space than the trunks of other mid-size sedans when the rear seats are up, and a lot more when they're folded flat.
Maxx's rear cargo area comes with a standard power outlet and a multi-functional cargo panel with four positions for two-tier loading. The cargo panel also can be positioned as a table for picnics or tailgate parties.
Hooks on the cargo panel help secure smaller items, and cargo nets on each side of the cargo area help keep items from sliding around. To make another point about safety, this can be important if you're stopping quickly because it keeps things from flying around the cabin doing collateral damage. And if you don't think that stuff is an issue, have someone toss an AA battery at your face at any velocity you like.
This attention to occupant comfort is also evident up front, since Maxx is one of the few cars at any price that comes with a driver's seat that adjusts up and down as well as fore and aft, pedals that move fore and aft, and a tilt-telescope steering wheel.
This combination of features allows more drivers of all sizes to get more comfortable behind the wheel, and greatly reduces the chance that some people will have to sit too close to the steering wheel and its airbag. This is a significant safety consideration if one of your drivers has short legs.
Speaking again of safety, Maxx can be ordered with OnStar, which provides different groups of service and works from places that no cell phone signal can hope to reach. This can literally be a matter of life and death if you're in a crash.
OnStar can send the right kind of help (police, fire, ambulance) to your exact (within five metres) location if you're having an emergency. If you're in a crash and you can't call them because you're unconscious or whatever, OnStar will send help. Getting help as quickly as possible is that life and death part I mentioned earlier.
This is a serious program and you should look at it with any GM product you're considering. Speaking for myself, I will no longer buy a vehicle without OnStar or something like it, and there's really nothing like it on the market.
