Name your SUV.

asherwest · December 2010

Either the one you have or the one you want.

We are looking into getting one, and would love to hear what you have to say about yours. 4 wheel drive is a must for us with the snowy winters.

ohashlet · December 2010

I have and love my CRV.

mrsadamc 05 · December 2010

4Runner. We love it.

If money were not object I would get the Volvo one. It's pretty!

Lambie. · December 2010

Love love love love my Cadillac SRX. The base model isn't as expensive as you might think. It does come in 4 wheel drive.

hippotree · December 2010

We had a CRV until it got smooshed. We really liked it. We decided on a Subaru Forester for our next car.

nikisnow · December 2010

I have a 2004 Ford Escape. I really like it and would get another but I think we're going with something bigger next time, possibly a Pilot or 4Runner.

KKM · December 2010

I have a Jeep Cherokee and would not rec it. The backseat is amazingly small and now that we have two carseats my knees are in the dashboard when I have to sit in the passenger seat. I love how it drives, but not how small it is.

Mysterious_wife · December 2010

We are driving a Jeep Compass and like it.

SBma · December 2010

Have: 4Runner.

Want: Highlander, or Lexus RX.

bancbev · December 2010

I have a BMW X5. I love it like nobody's business but it's just too expensive to maintain. I'm going to sell it soon and get something cheap.

Adam'sGirl · December 2010

I have a Ford Escape (actually my second one) and I really like it. Big enough, but not huge.

CWinfree85 · December 2010

Chevy Equinox. I love it. Its all-wheel drive but has done great the times we've had it out in snow and ice.

heather_09_15_07 · December 2010

We love our Rav4 and it's surprisingly roomy.

We are driving the Jeep Compass for a rental. Now that you mention it, the seats are kind of small. It rides nicely and is pretty decent on gas.

asherwest · December 2010

Thanks ladies! We have a lot to research and so little time as it is currently snowing and DH really wanted me in a SUV before it snowed. DH=slacker! lol I think I could have purchased ten different one's already but he is so picky!

OMG, it is awful. My dhs volvo s40 (my old car...that I miss) has more legroom in the backseat!

And ditto to pp, we looked at a Volvo SUV and the Jeep and decided on the Jeep. I LOVE our volvo and wish we had gone with that.

Mrs White · December 2010

I have and LOVE my CX-7

skyfarm15 · December 2010

We have a Jeep Grand Cherokee, I love how it drives in the snow. My H's parents both have Jeeps. I like that they are roomy, but with bulky car seats, not so much. (I'm just thrilled to be driving mine again after driving a pontiac vibe for 8 months. The vibe was great too, it's our 2nd car, BUT I don;t have to bend down to put a heavy baby J into the carseat, and I have more room in the back for the stroller and shopping bags.)

ukcats27 · December 2010

I have a Nissan Murano and I love, love, love it!!! It is 4 Wheel Drive and even has a back up camera!

MrsVonKikabee · December 2010

This. When it gets too small, we plan to upgrade to a CX-9.

We just bought it this fall, used, for about 1/2 what a new one costs, so it was economical as well.

Discordia1030 · December 2010

I have a cherokee as well and the backseat can get smooshed with multiple carseats. As far as space between the front seat and carseat back, I dont feel like I have to sit closer but I'm also only 5' tall. If youre looking for a newer suv, stay away from the cherokee, the newest models were made in 2000.

MrsShackleford · December 2010

We have the Chevy Traverse. Love it, love it!

I believe the Traverse, Acadia, Enclave and Cadillac are all the same frame for these. Just different trim and price points.

I orig wanted the Acadia, but the Traverse was cheaper and just as nice IMO.

asuchic · December 2010

I'm partial to Subaru, cause we've had three and absolutely loved them. All models come standard with AWD, which is really nice. I would look at the Outback (probably my next car), or the Forester.

sandy02 · December 2010

LOOOOVE my Toyota 4Runner!!! We got a 2010 Limited a few months ago and it is GREAT.

mmkaye · December 2010

I have a Chevy Trailblazer and love it. We chose to forgo 4WD to get better gas mileage, but kind of regret it. I really like how it has air vents in the backseat as this helps keep me from getting car sick.

dmogmo · December 2010

DH drives a forester. It's an older version but I love it and totally want a newer one when my car goes (hopefully a VERY long time from now).

Le Olive · December 2010

After doing a ton of research, DH just bought a Nissan Xterra w/4WD and he loooves it.

magdalina.h · December 2010

I have and love my Hyundai Sante Fe. I cried when we were talking about turning it in when the lease was up. I was like when we got it I imagined we'd have a baby in this car. So needless to say we ended up buying it.

JenniferJaneC · December 2010

I have a 2010 Jeep Patriot Limited, and I love it. It could probably stand to have a little more room in the way back, but we made up for it with a roof rack. It handles the snow and bad roads like a dream.

DrBeepersWife · December 2010

Apprantly I am the only one who has monster SUV's. DH drives a Tahoe and I drive a Navigator. Yes, gas guzzlers but I do drive my Solara to and from work to save on costs

Oh, we absolutely love both vehicles!

ETA: both are 4x4

Ditto, but an 07 sport. Love it.

DH has an 08 Liberty, and while it's bigger than mine overall, the backseat has WAY less leg room.

CarrieLiz · December 2010

I got a RAV4 a couple months ago and so far I love it.

MandyBrownNoser · December 2010

DEATHBOXES!!!!!!

purplick · December 2010

I HAD a Nissan Murano.. Loved it!

I have a Ford Edge.. same idea, but I liked the Murano better. Both are AWD.

mommyebert · December 2010

Explorer Eddie Bower Edition - Pretty and functional!

wils0482 · December 2010

I have an '08 Mercury Mountaineer (same as Ford Explorer, pretty much). I love it!

princess101 · December 2010

BMW X3 and I love it. It's got room enough for two car seats and a person in the back seat alone. Plus room behind the seat for a pnp, suitcases, stroller etc. Also, BMW covers maintenance under the awesome warranty for up to I think 60k miles.
