oooo gotcha
yeh i was in the same boat when i was the broker for my parents, like i have been since i have been 19, not to mention other relatives. Looked at the Tiguan, Rogue, Murano, SanteFe, etc. While the last SanteFe was a good car for us, it sucks in mileage and the new wasnt much better and too big for my mom, Dad needed something to house his big self...
ended up on the CRV maxxed out with a super deal (on the lot, 8months old, crazy deal). Awesome lil car, insane brakes...not bad handling, pretty good mileage and awesome stereo/uber big interior environment. I would suggest looking at it....this is the one we chose over just forgeting mileage and getting a Murano mid level optioned, it just 'fit better' and my mom loves it as do i, my dad, my bro, and my sis.
tho i would not drive one, even tho when i was driving it the other day and pushing it in the corners, i was totally thinking "firmer shocks, 1inch drop, wider tires, chip, tuned awd, boost?.......wait, hell no"
