I did a lot of looking...the best third row seat space and comfort was by far the Taurus X, easy access as well espcially if you get the second row bucket seats instead of the bench seat. Acadia was decent but still not as comfortable or spacious as the Taurus X. The highlander's third row was maybe big enough for a squirrel same with the volvo xc90 tiny third rows and more of an afterthought.

I would vote for Hyundai VERACRUZ !!!
 
I bought one recently after LOT of research and homework. It is the best SUV with 7 seats with all the luxuries you can expect on a luxury cross over for a reasonable price. The comfort of the 3rd row seat and easy access to the 3rd row played a major role in my choosing VERACRUZ and ofcourse its charming look and price tag.
 
CX-9 is over priced in my opinion i cant afford it. acadia/outlook looks good but again over priced and i would not buy a car from a bankrupted company.

Well said. I have an 08 model, though now wishing I had the AWD version after driving in snow today, can you say slip and slide? I eventually just turned off the ESC so I could actually get moving. It's the tires, not the vehicle though, that is the problem, once moving, it drives very nice in snow. I am 5'8 and 240 pounds, and can sit OK in the 3rd row. The only thing lacking is room behind the third row seats when they are up, something I knew about when I bought it, but I just could not bring myself to paying an extra $3-4K for an Outlook for a little extra room and not get all the options I got with the VC. I have 19000 miles on it, and aside from the AM filter on the radio going *poof* and having to have it replaced, it has been trouble free, and believe me, the radio is non mechanical so it WAS a non issue, I have had top of the line after market radios go *poof*!

As for the tribeca....dont do it. Bought an 06 in 2010 and its a piece at 74,000 miles. Really nice looking and feeling but total lemon on the inside. Right now I have timing belt issues, electrical issuses and more. To keep the car I have to dump about 4000 into it, and I never missed a maintainance call. I have a friend with an 07 and she says the same. Move on and dont waiste your money.
