Kids & off road sometimes .

HL is too small. If light off road, Pilot TrailSport!

What do you consider "off road". Are you talking smooth gravel/dirt roads, or something requiring good ground clearance and low-range?

I have a Cadillac XT4 and it's only had one minor issue that GM has corrected with an upgraded part (EVAP purge pump). I would get the XT5, which is a little bigger but with GM's same 2.0L four cylinder and 9 speed auto which is a proven reliable powertrain. My XT4 is all wheel drive and it gets over 30 mpg average with recommended (but not required) premium fuel. These are still union made in the USA if that matters.

It's kind of difficult to clearly define "mid-size" SUVs these days. It really depends what your references are.

Again , the Kia Sorento , or Toyota Highlander are my yardstick of measure for a mid-size SUV … Conversely the Toyota RV4 (or similar) SUV is too small thus I put them into “large compact SUV’s but not mid size like the Highlander or Sorento are.
