Yeah i was thinking about maybe going new... but the interior of the hyunday blows. Plus it would really take me over my budget big time.
What i REALLY want would be this:

Run the hell away from the Freelander. Anything that doesn't leak a fluid will break outright.
A used CRV seems like the safest bet IMO.

The CRVs are still expensive though. I'd have to go with a 2005 to get it under 15K
what about the Xtrail?

So I've got nothing to say about it.
h:A 2005 wouldn't be the end of the world IMO.
Nearly the same drivetrain and suspension as an '09.
And compared to the V6 competitors, the CRV will be reasonably fuel-efficient.

that is a good point.
The only reason i want a suv is for the snow. I park my car in the street and you can imagine how much my life would be easier if my car could just roll out on a snow bank.
