Yep, important to me as we do some tours that can approach 2000+ miles

We have a proper glovebox, a footwell locker, a transmission tunnel map pocket, trinket box between seats, electrical spares in the engine bay fusebox, very useful door pockets, stuff under the seats, space behind the seats, large(ish) parcel shelf, alloy tool tray stuffed full of tools & spares, and that's all before Mrs M fills the luggage rack

A lot of the above simply isn't possible with a CX


Storage is CX's number one problem.

On the other hand, the road qualities are much better on the CX than on the trad and the car is much less tiring to drive on long journeys.
