For laminate flooring, choose designs with V - grooves along the long and
short edges of the boards, and with textured surfaces, which look far more realistic than completely smooth surfaces.
It is, I suppose, a nice feature for very
short drivers, but for me, it was in the way — in the rain, I'd step out
of the driver's seat onto the ground, and the back
of my left leg would invariably contact the leading
edge of the running
board, making a muddy stripe on my pants leg.
