cross, which is better? Audi A5, Cadillac SRX, Acura MDX, Volvo XC90 Buick Enclave? We need a new (or slightly used) crossover - but I want one with a bit of style and sex appeal but it is not too large. Unfortunately, I also want good gas mileage. There is no perfect car for me - has anyone seen a field GMC in real life? I have only seen pictures. HELP!
Ok I wouldnt go with the Acura, because he is going through tons of recalls. I would go with an Audi A5 Audi because very reliable, nice, sexy and luxurious. I have an A5 and its the best car I've owned. Now, the Cadillac SRX is a great SUV and Cadillac is a great brand, which gives that is made in the United States is also a plus. Volvos are great, but they arent as sexy, and Buick are nice but arent as sexy either. My only problem is that the Audi you mentioned is not a cross, a car is not sure if it is a mistake. I would say go with the Cadillac, because it is the best option you have in that liaison and theyre cheap. But if you consider the Audi and it is not an error, then go with the Audi mialage it will get better, looks better and lasts longer.

I just research crossovers Audi and they have a Audi Q5 and Audi Q7. The Audi Q5 is the most realistic and milage is good for a SUV type vehicle. He says he is the 23mpg and 18mpg Hi crossing in the city. So it may be your best bet, I highly recommend Audi.
The Volvo car is a soccer mom and has so many problems that the majority of your miles will be driven to the repair shop. I saw the ground like GMC and the front of this, but the rear seems a bit awkward as it looks from the top of it. The Cadillac SRX is supposed to be great on gas and the interior is great with the chrome and leather. The Acura MDX is okayyyy ... I think he has the same attraction as the style Volvo ... soccer mom and I know someone who has caused a couple of times, and he said that the blind spots on the side are horrible. The Buick Enclave is a great car. and has a good amount of power ... but not so great on the MPGs. I love the Audi A5, they look great and have the quattro, which is amazing in the snow. Do you also think of a BMW X3? My mother drives, and gets about 21 miles per gallon (28.5 mph average) and has a relatively heavy foot. It also has great maneuverability. I highly recommend it. Every time I drive, I have a ball and it takes corners like its on rails. Good luck looking car!
Cadillac and Acura would be my choice. If you look up Acura MDX SUV or small luxary 10 RDX is almost always # 1. And Cadillac is only one class and quality.
The Audi A5 is a 2-door coupe, then I think you are talking Q5 You should also consider the big brother Q5, the Q7 as well .. Fuel economy is about the same for all vehicles (that is if you do not consider V6) If you want style, consider the MDX or Audi SUV. They just look sexy, and both are pretty athletic an SUV. The MDX is a 3 pretty decent line and it can fold flat if you need the trunk space booster. And he has more power in this group.
Personally, I would recommend the MDX, because I think it will meet your needs best. Moreover, its not going to cost to maintain over the long term, unlike the Audi and Volvo. I was also in the MDX and it feels quite spacious.
Take a look at the Lincoln MKX.
More standard equipment, all of the foregoing.
