Not a concern to the owners I suppose, Kings Cross, or in Toronto, Jarvis Street, is quite flat.
BMW X5 says it all. Find me a competitive Canadian model. Surely there must be ONE!!!

Back on topic (if indeed that is possible). To the OP, the subject of cars/suv's etc is discussed frequently here. Everyone has their own preference and predjudices. Do your research and come to your own conclusions. A Honda Pilot might be considered as a 7 seat SUV.
EDIT: None of us are promoting 1.0L cars. They don't exist in North America.

I explained I liked BMW's and was open to suggestions should those who don't agree with my taste, and maybe come up with something better.
I don't need people to be ridicule!
What engine size do they generally start from?
