Hi,
We need to replace our Honda 2-door and dh is looking at a few pre-owned models.
The requirements for us are:
- prefer 7-8 passenger SUV (we have a 2001 Odysey) but 5 passenger is fine but must fit 2 boosters and 1 rf/ff across the 2nd row bench
- 2006 or newer
- Approx. CAD $20k (I'm not sure of the US equivalent in term of vehicle pricing, we are probably looking at Acura MDX price bracket)
- prefer 'foreign' like Honda, Toyota, etc.
- 2nd row to fit 3 across: 2 boosters and a rf carseat (don't have the convertible seat yet, but can be Britax, Radian XT, TF whichever fits in a 3-across situation)
Dh likes the look but knows little about ratings, reliability, etc. of these:
- Honda Pilot
- Mitsubishi Endeavor
- Hyundai Veracruz
- Nissan Exterra, Pathfinder or Murano (5-seater)
We briefly looked at Saturn Outlook (which dh liked the look a lot) but the 2009 is so expensive (just a few grants less than the Pilot)
Any opinions on what to get, what else we should consider, etc.? Help!
And thanks.
