I wouldn't get the Tuscon or Sportage myself. The Rav 4 is ok but I didn't love the ones I drove. Pilot I would put near the top of your list. CRV I'm not a huge fan of but would take it over the Kia and Hyundai. The Outback I would possibly look at.

There were two vehicles I was looking at during that auction. One was the Tribute and the other was a Subaru Legacy. The only reason I didn't get the Subaru was the engine had an odd sound and I couldn't remember if that was a Subaru thing or if this one was rough so I walked on that one.

She/we currently have a santa fe, its slightly bigger than the tuscon. I dont care for it that much. Very underpowered and the brakes suck, but it has done well lugging one or 2 bikes all over the east coast for track duty. She paid for that one on her own and she didnt have much for money so I am thinking we upgrade a bit in hoping that i can afford something a little better now.

Ford Taurus, AWD or 2wd
3.0 or 3.5
Cheap, huge and under appreciated.

When little feet are kicking at the back of you chair as you drive, you'll appreciate the room the Taurus has. Trunk is huge.

It will be a hell of a lot better than driving in an Escape.

My wife has the Dodge Journey. I like it but on get the RT model. I know RT minivan crossover, seems like an oxymoron. but its get a better engine and way better interior options than the other models. has lots of great room and is pretty damn good on gas. plus the rt model comes with a kick ass stereo with navigation
