SUV Recomendations?

[theGibber1]

Baby number two will be here in just a few short months and my wife and I both have Sedans.. Was looking into getting her an SUV.

I dont like to buy new. Something 2010, 2011.. looking in the low $30k range. Saftey and good gas miliage are important.

Toyota Highlander You won't be disappointed.

'09 pilot is great. Bigger than our '07 highlander. Better ride, too. Not sure about mileage splits, but dash computer shows 19.7 avg mpg. I drive more city than highway

Excellent car. My 07 has held up well. Solid fuel efficiency, too

Can't go wrong with the highlander. The sequoia will give you more of a truck feel but you will pay for it in gas.

We've been really happy with our '09 Acura MDX with the 2 young ones.

Since we're thinking about adding a 3rd we went with the Yukon. It's awesome to drive but definitely is shit when it comes to gas mileage.

check out the GMC Acadia, quite a bit of room for still being in the 'mid-size suv' category.

I just had two friends ditch their X6 and Toyota truck for the Grand Cherokee. I'm not sure what year Jeep changed the design but both of them speak very highly about their suvs.

Or you could just suck it up and get a mini van. Say what you want but there's a reason why they're so popular with parents. There's nothing wrong with a grown man driving one.

ford flex go test ride and you will buy it

 

[fatdaddycool]

I would have to agree with the Ford Flex. American made and well put together. An excellent buy in my opinion.

If you can't play FIFA on the ps3 in the third row while your wife chauffeurs you and the kiddies around, that station wagon that you have isn't made for a man.

Plus, the pink hello kitty decal on the back window keeps me out of any type of road rage when I am driving.
