I test drove a volvo recently, granted it was a car and not an SUV, but it drove like a tank (in a bad way)  seems like it would be terrible to drive on a long trip.

I saw a Cayenne with 2 Bernie bumper stickers in Wichita last weekend. I should have got a photo.

SD, if you aren't going to use one of the best bennies of being a cow farmer and write off $25k on a new Tahoe you should wait for the new Jag suv.  The reviews say it is very roomy

Is that the one that looks like a Chrysler Pacifica? Because if it is, then it's pretty baller.

The right answer here is probably something like go buy a well optioned USED Accord, Camry, Odyssey, Sienna, Pilot, or Highlander with maybe 50K on it, and drive it for 10 years.  Meanwhile, invest the difference every month in an index fund or rental property.

But, that isn't a very glamorous approach.  I get that.  Still, it's the right answer, no way to deny it.

That's certainly the right answer for someone.

I love my minivan so easy and convenient.  Chrysler Town and country it's a pretty sweet ride and the stow n go seats are nice if you need to haul larger items.  We sometimes fold 2/3 of the back seat down at Christmas to fit all the kids presents in it when visiting the in-laws. still have 3 seats for the kids and can get tons of stuff in the rest.

I only currently have two kids and only ever will. So a minivan is an ego thing but also not really needed. Just need more back seat space.

Update: none of these POSs have any more back seat room than my POS jeep. Kinda frustrating. Q7 leader in the clubhouse right now with like a tiny baby amount more.

sounds like you need something with a 3rd row seat, and then just take the 2nd row seats out.  kids won't be kicking your seat, so much more room back there.  win win win.

Spare the rod...smh.

SD needs an Odyssey so bad.  Kills me to watch this, but I can't MAKE him be willing to get the Odyssey.  He has to want it on his own.

Putting 22's on the Odyssey would make it a lot more bearable SD

Just did a google search for rear legroom.  The difference is basically an inch to an inch and a half.
Tesla Model S has rear facing seats.  Maybe a death trap for kids?  No idea but no way are they kicking the driver seat.  You can prob find a used one for 80ish.

Tons of back seat leg room + air suspension to raise and lower for loading the kids. Probably need a 2013 to get to your budget.
