Highlander (Originally my first choice, well done upgrades from 07’s, does everything pretty good but some minor flaws) 5. Enclave (Great looking car, very surprised an American car of this quality, great to see, Pricey and no deals or willing to be competitive in pricing) 6. CX-9 (Nice car and love how it is deceptively big, Sporty ride but a little too much road feel for me, Felt every bump and twist) 7. CR-V (A real fun ride and not as underpowered as I would think, but pretty basic interiors, smaller, 166hp v4, great on mpg though) 8. Santa Fe (nice car like the improvements, they even squeeze in a 3rd row, not sure why though, felt like it was missing something, if going with Hyundai pay a little more for the Veracruz) 9. Tribeca (A very floaty ride, not cheap, Not a bad looking car though) 10. Edge (Just underperformed in every way, I can’t believe people pay the price for this car, not to mention you get a constant reminder of Ford’s $ issues with their tacky BP gas cap ad. A real joke, they can’t even afford Brochures they told me, go online and print them out at home they said) These are my personal rating based on performance, value, comfort, drive, and a few other factors. Also a 3rd row was not a big deal for me and somewhat of a drawback as I am young and single. I have done a ton of research and reviews on most of these vehicles as well, too much. I also took a look at the Infiniti G35X (drove amazing but need utility) and EX-35 (simply too small, actually shorter than the G35, not a CUV at all. More like a small hatchback/wagon) Equinox and Pilot (did not care for either) Am i forgetting any good CUV in the 30-35k range?

Who buys one of these three row behemoths to make the occasional adult passengers comfortable? Does anyone sit adults in the second row of these things for long trips the majority of the time they are driving it? Wouldn't a smaller more efficient and better driving SUV/CUV be a better choice for them? I've never understood the obsession with an inch or two of legroom. They do the same thing in the mid-size sedan thread and I don't get it there either. The Flex looks same as a TX inside. Either you weren't looking at the inside of a Flex, or you need your eyes checked immediately!

Replying to: samf10 (Jan 27, 2008 12:38 pm) as for faith in ford, I'd argue that gm has had more serious teething problems with the lambdas than ford ever had with the FS/T-reX... as for the rest, whatever... You asked, I offered without trying to be "offensive". not sure why people feel compelled to insult than say well really I didn't mean anything by it, why say it in the first place? moving on, good luck with whatever you buy for whatever reason you choose it.

Replying to: samf10 (Jan 27, 2008 1:25 pm) After reading your post I went back and looked at some pictures of the TX, and now that you mention it, I do see some resemblance to a hearse! I never really thought about it before, until you brought it up. Bear in mind that I will soon be the owner of a TX in a few weeks, and your observation certainly hasn't changed my opinion. On the contrary, it'll come in handy lugging around the mother-in-law!
