What would you choose? We have 3 kids in car seats, need plenty of cargo space, plus towing capacity for the boat. Here are the options I have (my Dad is a car dealer, so he's narrowed it down):

1) Buick Enclave
2) Saturn Outlook
3) GMC Acadia

I need big but not Suburban big. I just want something that looks nice, has good resale value, and most importantly is safe (which I think they all are). So, for those of you who know anything about vehicles (I know nothing), what would you choose if you were limited to those three options? Maybe you have driven one or all of these and have personal opinions?

I am so indecisive!

Have you driven them? I'm going to throw a vote in for the Buick, since they're the "higher end" car of the 3 listed.

I drove the Saturn Outlook and it was nice. It didn't have the captain's chairs that make it easier to get to the 3rd row (not a deal breaker though) and I guess Saturn doesn't make vehicles anymore, so the resale isn't as great. I have not driven the other two yet, so I'm just going off of looks/features/reviews at the moment!

I have a friend who has the buick and LOVES it!

Good!!! I've been leaning toward the Buick, so hearing that helps

The Buick Enclave, but only because it's considered a "luxury" crossover.

I'm being nosey but why are you limited to those 3 again, or was that what you narrowed it down to??? I love new car shopping!!! I'm excited to see what you pick!

Those are the 3 in the same SUV class that my Dad has recommended and I did a little online research on before narrowing the search. Also, they are all within my price range, have 7-8 passenger seating, plenty of cargo space, etc. I'm looking for used (2009 or 2010). I am open to other suggestions though!

My Dad can actually buy it from an auction and sell it to me wholesale, so I'm not stuck with these 3. I'm just overwhelmed with the options and have trouble making decisions

Holy crap, I didn't realize they had 7-8 passenger seating in those vehicles. (How did I miss that?) LOL

I don't even want to think about picking a new vehicle, we're waiting until I get pregnant again (My car isn't old anyway, it barely has 25k miles) but there are so many SUV's/Crossovers/Vans/wagons these days that have cool features!

i have 3 kids too and we looked at all those suvs and seriously they weren't big enough we went with a dodge grand caravan, the extended one. it's SO roomy. our next car will be an expedition. we test drove the el one (extended length) and totally, absolutely fell in LOVE. but having a baby, it's not the smartest decision since I would have to actually get IN the car each time i take her in and out and i could totally see me tripping (I'm short) so once ALL my kids can climb in on their own, we are so getting one! the bigger the better! I'm counting down the days hahahaha!

^^^WE too want an Expedition..That will probably be our next vehicle. I honestly love the Enclave and the Acadia myself.
