Default How do you feel about FP's wide girth?

I noticed F-Pace is lower and wider than all other crossovers and many full-size SUV's on the market. 81 inches wide compared to 77" (Range Rover), 74" (RX), 70" (ML), 77" (MDX), 79" (Pilot), 80" (Tahoe).
The 65" height is a full 2"-10" lower than the above mentioned.

No doubt the low and wide stance of the FP helps its driving dynamics. But in practical terms, does this translate to more cabin space inside or just 'dead space'? Do you find it harder to park or turn due to its width? In general, do you find the FP easy to live with everyday?

We were a little worried about the width of the F-Pace. We got ours in last week and my wife has driven it for the past week and has adjusted to the width compared to her previous CX-9. I have never seen my wife so excited to get a vehicle before in her life. This is the first vehicle we have ordered (and have ever paid MSRP) exactly how she wanted it (within our financial means) and she is beyond excited!

I don't feel it big. It's roomy inside and the road experience is great!
The only one who feel snug is my body who's 6'3 and 245 pounds. But his problem is his shape, not the car...
