I want to buy a new car and I'm lost. Help!

With this year's taxes, I want to buy myself a new car. I've had my current one for quite awhile, and I just need something a little bigger. I drive a '98 Mercury Sable currently. I'm not really interested in minivans, although I do like the look of the Honda Odyssey, I just can't swing the price.
Here is what I would like:
  • 3rd row
  • Under $5,000
  • Year 2000 or newer
  • Good safety ratings
  • Would like a 4x4, but not absolutely necessary.

I really have no idea what to look at. I really like the looks of the Suzuki XL-7, but I've heard that they don't really have good ratings and that the brand is known for tipping easily. Is there anything like that with better ratings?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Chrysler Pacifica might be a good option for you, or a ford freestyle. If your an SUV person like me I would say go for the dodge durango it will be my next one when I need a 3rd row
