We're thinking about upgrading my Saturn Vue to a newer car. What are your favo(u)rites?

Re: Also fav. small suv/crossover
I'm not a fan of crossovers really, but for small suvs I like CRVs (because I'm a big fan of Hondas - even though I went back to my beloved Jeep)... but I am not a fan of the Jeep Compass, the Grand Cherokee however can't rave enough...
Our friends got a new Ford Edge, which I guess is more of a crossover than a suv. I don't care for the shape/body style, but it is pretty nice inside and I know they are loving it! Also, my boss has a Nissan Murano and its also really nice, I think the Rogues are the same but just smaller (never really looked at them)...

My friend has a 2008 Rogue, and while she usually loves it, she's been battling with the check engine light for a while now.
I have a GMC Terrain and love it. AWD is the way to go up here, and it's small enough I don't feel like I'm driving a boat. The back seat also moves up and back for when you need more cargo room in the trunk space. Nifty feature.
My hubs has a Grand Cherokee, and it's such a smoothe ride. Well worth the money. No real problems, and it's a 2006. I actually also love the Compass, but I haven't owned one, so no real stories on that.
My mom has a Ford Edge, and it's a bumpy ride like a truck, but she loves it. Also no real problems. She just has the very standard version.
My brother drives a Subaru WRX hatchback and loves that. He's more about the power in that vehicle, though, but I did like that there was a ton of room, and it wasn't as large as an SUV.
We're in the market for a small SUV/crossover right now too. Apparently a Civic coupe is not the most family/car seat friendly.
My front runner is the CRV, but that's because, like Erinn, I'm a big Honda fan. I do know that there are some great deals on 2011's right now as they make room for the 2012's.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
I own a Honda CR-V and I love it, but I will tell you that Jim does not. There is not enough leg room on the driver's side for his 6' 3" self.
We have also rented a Hyundai Santa Fe several times for the Christmas drive home and we really liked it a lot. It definitely fit tall boy better.
ETA: Our CR-V is a 2004 model. The new ones are shaped differently and may be better in terms of leg room.

My parents have a Rogue. They really love it. My Dad wanted something he didn't have to crawl into to drive. He had his hip replaced last year and was tired of driving a lower car.
My boss has an infinity FX. I've driven it a few times and ridden in the back. It's very comfortable and has a lot of room. Only downside is it has a few blind spots but I'm sure if it was your primary vehicle you'd know how to drive it.
I'm a huge Honda and Toyota fan. So the CRV and the Rav4 have always been favorites of mine.
I'm a huge fan of Japanese cars. They always run for me and always run forever. I drove an Altima 200 miles a day for 3 years and it was brilliant. Dh did the same with a corolla when we were in college. They never let us down.
We recently got two German Cars. I drive a Mini Cooper (made by BMW) and Dh drives a VW. His car has had some serious electrical issues. My cars been fine but my car is not for babies. I always knew that German cars drive amazing but can be prone to electrical issues. Ultimately I think my Dh would have bought a different car. We probably will get rid of it as soon as we can.
One thing my friend (who is a car salesperson) mentioned is that you tend to get better deals at the end of the month because people are trying to fill their quota and tend to give a little more in the bargaining etc.
I used to have a Honda CRV, and I loved it! It was totalled in an accident, but everyone walked away with minor injuries. It drove just like a car but had all the extra room of an SUV. It was also fairly cheap to maintain. In fact, I believe I took it to the dealership ABarber worked at while I was in law school
I've been eyeing the Infinit EX, but I've never driven it. A friend of mine just got the Audi suv (the smaller version), and loves it.
I would imagine that you did. And I was probably even working there at that point in time. I worked there from the time that I graduated from undergrad until September of 06.
