Bold and in your face. Stand out and get a 7 and you’ll be blown away by the finishes and luxury. Pound for pound one of the best luxury cars available. IMHO.

Agree with this and I have had numerous 5's. You just don't see very many 7's on the road. The 4 wheel steering on the 7, to me, makes it handle like a 5 in tight spaces (and otherwise) but the ride is overall much better in the 7. But I'm an old fart. See if you can drive each size (even if not the exact model you're after) and decide for yourself.
