My wife LOVES her XB but it is becoming a money pit of sorts and we are in the process of finding a replacement. Looking for recommendations on a replacement. She loves the small size and visibility of the XB as well as the cargo room. The XB is fine for short drives and around town but not so much for anything over 50 miles or so.
She thinks she wants an FJ cruiser but I don't as I don't think it is the best choice for her. I like the look of the new Rav4 but have read it is under powered. 4 Runner is a bit big for her and a pickup is out of the question. Kia Soul has been nixed as she rented a Korean car once for a road trip and the seat was uncomfortable. I don't remember what Korean car/suv it was though.
I would say our list must have:
Non-domestic (I have had awesome luck with Toyota)
Cross over type
Decent visibility
Navigation
Cargo room
Comfortable seating
Decent power
Cruise control
Thoughts?
