some initial feedback...
for the money and the ratings the Jeep Patriot Sport and Kia Sportage

are looking pretty good!
sorry, the Honda Element is just too darn goofy looking, and believe it or not got lower ratings.
my folks have a Subaru, and it is a Dandy vehicle for them, but I've spent a great deal of time in the back seat and know the size limitations.
what else did you guys say that was realistic...??? ummm lots of Hondas, that pretty much got dissed?
comments?
