A lot of car manufacturers are touting the 7 passenger barrier. I believe
consumer reports has a lot of nice things to say about the Mazda. The trick
is to keep the beast under 30k and not have to feed it so much. I really like
the Ford Explorer too since they have some good engine options you might
consider. It has Land Rover looks too.
