Renting a car, which is more comfortable, full size car or midsize SUV?

We are thinking of renting a car to go from California to the Grand Canyon--so lots of sitting! There will be 4 adults and 1 small child, plus luggage.

The rental website shows a full size car and mid size SUV both hold 5 adults, plus luggage, and they are roughly the same price. Just know that if we make the wrong decision we will have plenty of time to regret it!

Thanks

    Depends on the car and SUV.

    In Most cases, the SUV would be more comfortable with a softer suspension.

    The SUV will probably be more comfortable... for the driver and passengers, and there is a lot more cargo capacity in the SUV. You say that they are roughly the same price... just make sure that both vehicles have unlimited mileage and you'll have to consider the extra gas, as the SUV will not have as good gas mileage as the full size car!
