suvs-two-rows
MSRP: $26,635 - $36,605 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 17 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2009 Ford Edge is the widest vehicle in its class, at 75.8 inches. No wonder I found myself asking if this car made me look fat. Needless to say, my hubby couldn’t park his car in the garage while the Rubenesque Edge was in there.
2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS - 6/30/09
MSRP: $44,600 - $123,600 | MPG: 17 Hwy, 14 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2009 Porsche Cayenne is really two cars rolled into one. It’s a sports car and a luxury car. It’s an expensive, high-end SUV with a lovely design that no one notices until after you’re gone. It’s a looker but not an attention hog.
MSRP: $23,015 - $27,730 | MPG: 21 Hwy, 16 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2009 Jeep Liberty is truck-like in its maneuverability, and even seemed sluggish and had difficulty accelerating when I switched out of four-wheel drive. Its four-wheel drive didn’t perform nearly as well as I expected on the muddy river that’s normally my street.
MSRP: $41,660 - $43,250 | MPG: 28 Hwy, 32 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
I love the comfort and the features and how well it fit my kids and all our stuff, but when it came time to let it go, it was the drive that I really hated to see leave.
MSRP: $47,500 - $56,200 | MPG: 19 Hwy, 19 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2009 BMW X5 xDrive35d and I ended our two weeks together with mixed feelings toward each other. Put another way, I developed what can only be described as a love/hate relationship with this car.
MSRP: $21,500 - $27,810 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 22 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
What pushes the 2009 Toyota RAV4 into chick-car territory is the fact that the SUV can be described as “cute” or “small.” Instantly, all masculine street cred is kicked to the adorable pink curb of chick-cardom.
MSRP: $35,375 - $35,375 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 15 City
Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2009 Land Rover LR2 had me at hello. That’s not to say it didn’t have a few minor shortcomings, but my fondness for this SUV easily outweighed them and we had a splendid week together.
2009 Saturn Vue Hybrid - 2/24/09
MSRP: $28,160 - $28,160 | MPG: 32 Hwy, 25 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Did you know there are two versions of the Saturn Vue Hybrid? The test car I drove was the Vue mild hybrid (although you wouldn’t know that from the not-so-mild stickers plastered all over it).
2009 Suzuki XL7 Luxury - 2/09/09
MSRP: $25,595 - $29,680 | MPG: 23 Hwy, 17 CityDetails: 7 Seats, 3 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Suzuki has a little more work to do. There are pieces of the XL7 that are quite impressive, but it’s lacking in areas like performance and safety.
2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 - 1/23/09
MSRP: $34,600 - $36,600 | MPG: 21 Hwy, 16 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Having never seen one on the road, I couldn’t wait to drive carpool in the 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 in my Manolos (if only), turning heads all the way.
