Car Shoping - SUV with 3rd row
So, we're in the market for a used SUV that will fit all 5 of us. I was leaning towards a 2007 Acadia but then I did a quick search for the Audi Q7 and for similar cars (mileage, year) the prices are about the same. Is this right? I thought Audi would be so much more.
Does anyone have any feedback on these 2 vehicles as well as the Chevy Traverse?? We're looking to buy rather than lease.
Not interested at all in the honda pilot and we already have a minivan. Looking for an SUV with decent 3rd row. Had an MDX and it was too small.
We haven't been to see any of these vehicles yet. Right now just doing research.
Thanks

Re: Car Shoping - SUV with 3rd row
We went with the suburban bc its big enough for me to put the triple stroller in. I felt anything smaller wasnt going to have enough room .....

Mazda CX9. I do have a brand new one though. Love it!
Wantagh Mazda was so easy to deal with, as well.
I believe the model came out in 08 so you can probably get a deal on a used one.

Love the Audi Q7  Others I would consider in your search are the Buick Enclave (which I have and love), Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia. Buying used is a smart option these days.

Re: Car Shoping - SUV with 3rd row
just make sure that when you put the 3rd row up it is at least 3 feet away fromt he back window. Most of those smaller SUVs (like the travers) put your kids aou 1 foot away from the back window, too dangerous if you have a child back there, if you get rear ended it could be very dangerous. We had a pacifica and it drove me nuts having my daughter so close to the back.

Re: Car Shoping - SUV with 3rd row
I have the Acadia and I absolutely love it. The third row folds down to have a lot of space in the back but if its being used you still have decent space to work with.

Re: Car Shoping - SUV with 3rd row
I have a suburban also, no triplets though, and I love it. Im on my 3rd. What I love is it has a full trunk, always feel safe and no one feels on top of each other.

Re: Car Shoping - SUV with 3rd row
We just got the GMC Yukon Denali XL and I LOVE it. I really didn't think I would enjoy driving such a large truck but I do. It is so comfy and even when you sit in the back you feel like you are sitting in the front. The trunk space is also great with the 3rd row up. The regular size has about 6 inches of trunk space with the 3rd row up so it was pointless for us considering I was using the 3rd come April.

I have the Saturn Outlook which is about the same as the Acadia and LOVE it. I would also look at the Buick Enclave, sweet car.

We're looking to get an Escalade. It has captain's chairs and a 3rd row.
