Okay, so wifey and I are probably going to be expanding her waistline and our family in the near future, which bring us to an interesting dilema.
My wife has a relatively new (2007) Honda CR-V which is in great condition, but ulimately probably too small (in terms of back seat width).
We alredy have two kids and with a third, putting three child seats in the back of the CR-V is just to tight. I've been looking at possible options (NO, Minivans are not "possible options") and I keep coming back to the
Acura MDX.
The reason why is because of these factors:
The invoice price on it is about $40k (with the technology package), it has 300hp (AWD) and the most important specs:
This *appears* to be considerably more WIDTH in the back seats than most everything in its price class or size class. Yes, I know there are bigger vehicles out there, but the MDX is 15/20 mpg (city/hwy) which is still respectable.
Again, I'm open to suggestions... I've been researching everything my mind could come up with, but maybe someone has a favorite mid sized SUV that I have not thought of that compares favorably in size.
Also, the MDX has seating for seven, but I consider the third row seat more of a gimmick than anything else (having sat in them last night) they are purely for elves and dwarfs. (The third row seat do NOT have child seat anchors, so I do NOT consider them options for the child seats).
