Get a Nissan Cube - tons of room, good on gas, CVT tranny.
Be prepared for lots of stares and "oh, isn't that cute"

Hardly a SUV though and smaller than those vehicles listed. We have a Kia Soul which is a similar & better looking thing. It's been roomy enough for a family of 3 but now we're 4 it's getting a bit small. When the lease is up next year, it'll be replaced by something bigger.

We will test drive them and i suspect it will be AWD CRV.
We have had a grand cheroke limited, good car 5.somthing engine V8, fast. Petrol was cheap in Kuwait and i could afford to run it.
Hope i haven't inspired some to re-mortgage for a new car. Thanks for the input, I look forward to reading more posts if you continue on this thread. Cheers.

Well I'd be obliged to put in vote for an escape
I have had a 2001 4wd escape for 8 yrs now, no real issues other than a bit of rust around the rear wheel arches, still going well and mechanically sound
probably run it until something big (read expensive) breaks

Re: Small SUV - Which would you choose?
just looked at the new fords on the ford.ca site, do you think the new explorer looks like a Range Rover?

Better looking!!!
The Cube isn't for everyone as it truly is a tin box on wheels or like driving a fishbowl but it's cheap, good on gas, has great visibility and my teenage daughter loves it as it has huge style points.

I had a brand new Suzuki Grand V. Loved it, wish i had it now rather than the cheap car i bought which is turning out to be a nightmare.

I rather like cars myself. In fact, I don't think I like anything inanimate, except shoes, more. Really though, SUV, minivan, things one must have, not fun things, not interesting things, choosing one is like choosing between pairs of grey trousers. Can you people really not find anything interesting or nice to drive?
