Review: I owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee for 3 years and needed a new car, so I test drove the 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. I didn't like it. I'm 6'1", and my head was almost touching the roof! I could barely see out of the windscreen, no matter how I adjusted...

Review: After researching for a SUV over a year, I have decided that there are several candidates. RX300, MDX, X5, and ML320.

The impression that I had is as follows:
MDX - Good size, 240 horses, 7 seater is a bonus. Plastic interior, bad...

Review: Our Lexus RX 300 has had no problems, aside from my mom crashing it into a parked car. If you are wondering about the "real crash test," as I call it, the RX 300 did little damage to the other car and only needed a replace front bumper for itself.

Review: If you're looking for true luxury in an SUV, Lexus is by far the best choice. This is actually the third SUV I've bought. I have a '99 Mercedes M-class and I just got rid of my '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Out of these three, I would pick the Lexus any...
