I'm starting my research looking for input. Looking to replace and upgrade my current 8 year old SUV. My requirements include:
1. 3 row seating with bench seats in 2nd and 3rd row, although these will be rarely used
2. Heated seats and steering wheel, we have pretty darn cold winters
3. AWD, we get on average 130 inches or more of snow each winter
4. Needs to be reliable
5. Maintainable, i.e. easy to work on, I do all my own maintenance
6. Well manored, i.e. handles well and predictably
I'm sure there are other characteristics or options I'd like to have but those above are the important ones for my needs, any others are nice to have. Of course, price is a consideration and from what I can tell all of the major 3 row SUVs are similairly priced and we are fortunate here in Central New York where all dealer brands are discounted so I'll leave price out of our discussions for now.
There are a number of SUV good choices in this 3 row market so I'd appreciate your vehicle experiences both pro and con for any of vehicles in the segment. thank you all.
