cx-5 looks nice except i'd have to have the grand touring one and it is too new for those to drop much below 30.
the tiguan intrigues, but it is the same platform as the gti/golf/jetta. i guess they've stretched it enough because research says carseats fit fine. and if you need space for a larger trip, get a roof box. space when i need it. i dig that. like the a3 though, the current tiguan (and the used one we'd buy) is a big long in the tooth. same basic car for about 7 years now. oh well, beggars can't be choosers. i will say the tiguan is the current leader.
edge is dismissed because i only really dig the new one, which is new, and therefore costs new car money like the cx-5.
i'm not into bmws made after the 90s.
