    Well, not a SUV, but just as functional. VW Jetta Sportswagen TDI

    You get SUV storage, and great fuel economy.

    I don't think there are really that many people that actually "need" an SUV. It's an american thing.

    I love my Ford Edge but it doesn't have 3rd row seating. Handles like a dream in the snow, nice ride, quiet...

    I have a Toyota RAV4 with the optional 3rd row seating. I absolutely LOVE it!! Have had it for 5 years, and not planning to get anything different anytime soon.

    I have ford 2000 expend. All bell and whistle. I got it 5 yrs ago and still runs great. She needs some cosmetic work but engine is good. Dealer is asking me "if I want to sell." I just smile and say "you not taking my truck"
    I got mine used. so befor anyone starts talk about monthly payments let me just say I own my truck out right.

    What are you going for? Comfort, affordability, gas mileage, safety? Safety wise I would not go Ford (no offense to the Ford lovers, there are crash studies), Volvo has a very high safety rating, free maintenance I think, and great gas mileage. It really depends on your preference and what you're going to use it for. Test drive and find one that fits you, you have to mesh well with your car. Trust me, my last one tried to kill me multiple times.

    I have an 05 Expedition with third row seating. I love it! I have never had any major problems..had to have the fan replaced in the air conditioner but it only cost about $80. Plenty of room for my 3 kids, dog, sports equipment, and 3 of their friends. The back seat lays down for more storage. I love it enough to buy another when this one is paid off. lol
