have an 09 GTS and still loving it

now looking for another SUV (preferable a smaller one) for use as a daily driver..

what other SUV is nice to look at, fun to drive, good on gas and reliable? does this exist?

I guess Cajun fits the bill, but still a couple of years away.

Audi Q5 tops my list, but has concern about reliability.

 

Mazda CX-7, Acura RDX, Nissan Murano, and my favorite BMW X6M (not so good on gas though)

 

My wife has a CX-7, we dislike it, greatly. Elaboration to follow (at work.)

 

What about a Volkswagen Tiguan? Wife has one and loves it

 

Ever consider like an Audi S4 Avant? Yes it is a wagon but fun to drive and you get plenty of space...

 

We have one too and it has been great.

 

Try the new X3. The twin scroll turbo is faster than a stock GTS because it is smaller and lighter. Gas mileage is outstanding. The steering, I thought, left much to be desired. Still, fully loaded and with electronic damping, throttle mapping and torque vectoring it is a real bargain at less than 55k. Leave out all the goodies and you can go home for about 40k.

 

...and the V8 gets the same mileage as the Cayenne v8

 

Then get the 2.0T

 

Then it wouldn't be an "S4" now would it

 

Hyundai Santa Fe....

 

this one? thanks for the inputs guys... keep them coming

 

the Audi Q5 is real fun to drive. when I was shopping for the Cayenne I brought a buddy along with me. First dealership we went to didn't have any Cayennes to test drive so we ended up taking out a Q5. My buddy ended up trading in his 5 series BMW for it. Unfortunately he had problems with the high pressure fuel pump, but Audi is giving him a new replacement vehicle. so yup, reliability is a bit dodgy, but Audi was quick to remedy the situation.

 

maybe a Cadillac CTS wagon?
they look great in person

Actually, my Ex-GF has a Tucson V6. Not a bad vehicle at all. Not luxury (obviously), but we liked it.
OR
What about a Benz GLK
