Re: Recommend your SUV or crossover...no mini vans please
2010 Buick Enclave
Has 3 rows, last row is pretty roomy.
Can be configured as a 7 seater or 8 seater (bench middle row)
So many other good things about the car.
I haven't come across any cons yet, I love my Enclave.

Will look into it although, Deb, I was certain that you would recommend a minivan 
As for the second question, not yet, at least not that I know of...soon, very soon
My lease is almost up...looking to do an early lease termination!

Re: Recommend your SUV or crossover...no mini vans please
I have the MDX and I fit 3 car seats into it comfortably. its a great car. I am little (4 foot 11) so I need the running boards to climb in and out of. I plan to remove them if I grow some more.

I have the 09 Enclave and its hands down the best car I have ever driven (and now own). I've been in many, many cars/trucks because of DH's line of work and this one is the nicest, most comfortable, stylish , etc.

Re: Recommend your SUV or crossover...no mini vans please
I want to recommend the Jeep Liberty but you already had one, so I'm thinking you wouldn't be asking for recs if you were interested in getting another!!

Re: Recommend your SUV or crossover...no mini vans please
There is no question that the Audi Q5 is one of the safest mini SUV's on the road.
My hisband has an A4 with ne of the highest crash ratings.
My next car WILL be the Q5 hand's down.
And the german cars are better made. They have to make them to a different European standard, and they just carry that over to the USA.
Audi Q5. nuf said.

Re: Recommend your SUV or crossover...no mini vans please
I have been doing a lot of research into the Honda Pilot. One of my friends has one and my SIL has one and they both love it and I have asked others about it too and no one has any complaints. I think that will me our next purchase.

Re: Recommend your SUV or crossover...no mini vans please
There are a million nice SUV's. I think no matter what you go with (Acura, Infiniti, Nissan, Honda, whatever) you are going to be happy.
However, and this has to be said, my Mom a few years ago was looking at SUV's. I talked her into test driving the Mercedes ML350 and, hands down, it is unlike anything I've ever seen, driven, rode in, etc. It was UNBELIEVABLE. And the safety - just amazing. What a beautiful car. If your budget allows it, which you stated it does, that would be the one.
I would get it in a heartbeat.
Just DRIVE it and you'll see.
