How is your gas mileage? We are considering one.

On that note...You can do better.

That is consistent from what others have told me. Thanks.

Do you want something reliable and practical?

Yep, thats the goal!

I would go with a minivan then. Honda or Toyota.

SUV with 3 or more kids screams, I care more about my image than efficiency and

Want something we can take camping or skiing, thus the 4wd

Toyota Siena offers an AWD option.

I should edit the TriBeCa recommendation, though. It's my car, and

You don't need 4wd to do those things. Most people don't ever really need it.

Baron

10/6/15 10:06pm

You're not giving up any comfort for awd. You can get a Sienna if you really

10/6/15 10:21pm

Or that you need to tow or need ground clearance. Some people actually need

10/6/15 10:24pm

I wanted a van but my wife vetoed it. So we got the MDX

goldy

10/6/15 10:38pm

We really like our Durango. Plenty of room but not huge and decent gas

cracka

10/6/15 9:22pm

Honda Pilot

Might as well get minivan.

Kerbouchard

yeah they're so not cool

Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander are good

10/6/15 9:25pm

You have come to the right place.

1975 Chevy El Camino. You can easily bolt in two rows of seats in the back.

Tesla Model X. Best gas mileage out there -- because there is no gas!

Any SUV with all those things is essentially a minivan with a bigger price tag,

10/6/15 10:10pm

Sure, unless you need to tow anything. He didn't specify towing, but that

cracka

10/6/15 10:19pm

True, but he did mention good fuel efficiency, and light SUVs won't have much

mikeynolikey

10/6/15 10:28pm

Depends. The traverse and Durango do reasonably well in both categories.

cracka

10/6/15 10:36pm

And you don't look like a weenie driving one.

Kerbouchard

10/6/15 11:01pm

Just let it go dude! You probably are a weenie like the rest of us. If you're

Don't laugh, but we got the Buick Enclave and love it. The captain seats

I've heard good things about the Enclave

BYUfan92

10/6/15 10:19pm

Go and check one out. Now is a good time to buy with year end discounts.

bd52

10/6/15 10:25pm

Yep, Enclave/Acadia/Traverse, with captain chairs. Great vehicle.
