BMW X3 FTW Here. Maybe because I did a BMW event where they let us attack the cones. My Mother was shockingly in tow and beat me one of the laps.
LOL I personally would never have posted that my mom hot lapped me. Unless she is some related to the Andretti family, shame on you for letting mom beat you.

But seriously, I don't understand cute-utes.

I'd buy a wagon for less weight and same interior cargo space.

If ground clearance is your thing, then I'd at least get the ability to carry 7 passengers.
it's actually none of those things. It's not for me - it's for the wife - she:

a) refuses to drive a car significantly larger than the Forester she's driving now

b) doesn't want another forester, she wants a bit of an upgrade w/o feeling like she's throwing money away

c) wants AWD

d) hates any and all wagons with a thug passion...I think she's fighting this whole "approaching 30" thing.

e) wants 4 doors

f) won't buy anything american, and is extremely skeptical of european reliability--warranties don't matter, if it goes into the shop once, she'll be pissed for life.

g) no underpowered cars, eg CRV

(she's nowhere near as bad as I make her sound in this post, ha)

So what does that leave? Basically the only cars that fit the description are the AWD, japanese cars - IS250AWD, the RL, M35x, G35x, RDX, maybe the Murano, Highlander, s60, etc... just an unnattractive place to be in general.
