Tinker, In your case, you're better off getting a SUV. The MDX is an excellent choice. I don't know too much about the Armada or Pathfinder but you can't go wrong with an Acura or Lexus. Like Neo suggested, a Sienna is another excellent option. My sis have the top of the line Sienna and it is awesome! Great family car. I'm thinking of sell my wife's ML320 for a MDX. Happy hunting...

Tinker, What kind of an SUV are you planning to get? My wife has a ML320 (similar in size to the MDX,RX300), and I think my GS300 has more room in the backseats. I'm 6'1 240, and when I have the seats back, my son's feet will touch the back of the seat. With the ML320, he does not fit. As for the trunk space, it is huge. I am able to fit two stollers, and a bunch of groceries. Plus, the rear doors open wide and allows more room to reach in to buckle up the youngsters. This is more difficult in a SUV, unless you are tall enough or nimble to get into the vehicle and buckle them up. OR unless you get something massive like a full size SUV. Good luck!

I just bought a 2001 GS300 with 50K. I was just wondering what the average life (mileage) of these engines were. What year is your car and how many miles do you have on it?
