My mom has an '05 Volvo XC90 with the yamaha v8. It has alot of pep, pretty decent handling for an suv, VERY comfortable seat (what do you expect, its a volvo, my dads old c70 had the best seats I have ever sat in) plenty of space, good cargo room, optional third row, great car. The negative is that it has a pretty depressing interior, gloomy colors and plane jane gauges.

But overall I love the car, and they have huge discounts right now, can't imagine a much better suv in that price range.

I myself am in the market for a new daily driver, as you all know, and am choosing between a magnum rt, grand cherokee with a 4.7 v8 and 4x4, and a mazda cx7. I like the cx, but it can't tow much more than a jet ski, the magnum is going to be hard to lease for as much as I want, and I have already had a grand cherokee (should have kept it) and I think the new ones are kind of ugly. The only thing swaying me towards the grand cherokee and the magnum is the fact I should be able to get a fat discount as this will be my fourth chrysler vehicle (neon, grand cherokee, crossfire) so I think I can get the magnum for a decent price. I just want a vehicle that has a lot of utility, good driving dynamics, and enough space for my pit bulls. I know I got off topic, but any suggestions from you guys? Btw, now rav 4, no highlander, no crv, please. I am in desperate need of help.

Right now I am really leaning towards the cx7 because the only bad part is the fact it can't tow that much. It is cheap, has a great interior, awd, good power (244 hp turbo four cylinder) has won all its head to head comparos, decent gas mileage, good handling (.84 g's, 64 mph slalom), plenty of space for any future kids (no time soon hopefully) and the dogs.

Its going to be ANOTHER three year lease, because I am getting a bmw 135i (new twin turbo one series) in three years. Thanks, and sorry andrew!!
