midsize SUV

[Stratus_Power]

My mom needs a new car! we looking at a midsize SUV, right now we are thinking the CR-V but havent really go and look at one in real life yet..
any recommandation? looking at a midsize ( 4 sitters) SUV at about 30k price range give or take

[kenny]

Personally, I'd rather have an XTerra than a CRV or RAV4. Its closer to a true SUV than either of those two and is close to the $30k budget range.

[infamous]

yeah for sure. i would go with the xterra s/c and be done with it!

[GT2NV]

yeah rav 4's are pieces of shit... my close friend used to have one. yeah anyways Xterra forsure

[Stratus_Power]

ohh never thought of Xterra!
hey that new element from honda worth waiting for?

get a black xterrra SC

gunmetal wheels on black SUV =

[Stratus_Power]

checked out the nissan site ;( the SC might be out of the price range.. 33,290 + 1200 for auto ( my mom cant drive standard.)

midsize is explorer/envoy/pathfinder/highlander size.

You're talking about compact SUVs.

I think the best 3 are the Escape/Tribute, Forrester and CR-V

Other ones in this class are Rav 4, Liberty, Xterra, Tracker, Santa Fe. Don't even waste your time with the Suzuki or Kia.

thanx all, i will talk to my mom about it and go check them out next weekend... ( they are trying to stay away from American cars cuz we already had 2 and both of them sux like a PoS, so we gonna try Japan)

Rave4 is cheap

[RiceCake]

Hmm... Rav4's i've driven and they are quite underpowered, the xterra's are nice and gotta love the forester's although they are a little more pricey.

If your mom ever wants a used one, I have my 97 Infiniti QX4 for sale for $26500. NO GST!

I test drove an Xterra(supercharged) and then went and test drove the Liberty. In my opinion the Liberty seemed to have more power, when you floor it would go. I thought the Xterra seemed to lag.

my uncle has the silver one with gunmetal wheels....i think it looks better than black.
yea my uncle wanted a midsize to fullsize suv and we went all over.....even went to isuzu and in my opinion and same with my uncles (obviously) the xterra was the best....CRV's and RAV4's are way overpriced compared to it

Get a forrester dude. its kinda underpowered but she won't mind right? AWD, you can get leather and everything fancy, and the new ones are looking good.

WORD!
I love my driving my dads forester! hehe

If you want a car base style SUV, definitely give the Subarus some thought! Or how about WRX wagon? Total sleeper!

I love the look of the Xterra, so rugged, perfect for everything!

my dad is thinking about buying a new forester *sigh*
that would be 3 subaru's in the family.

the forester isn't a bad get around vehicle but a little under powered.

Just don't turn the A/C on:p

And that is exactly why I didn't buy a WRX! Cause that would make it three as well!

What about a Subaru Baja?? Those look tight.
