Looking At Crossover SUVs. Thoughts?

Yes. Absolutely need a functional third row.
Thanks everyone for all the recommendations. Please keep them coming.
Current reviews lead me to believe the Honda Pilot, Mazda CX-9, and the Nissan Pathfinder are currently the way to go. They have the largest 3rd row of the current wave of mid-sized SUV's.
It sounds like the Nissan is under powered, so that's a watch out.

Only one I've looked at out of those was the Pilot. I really liked it but we didn't need that big of a vehicle yet. We drove a Mazda 5 the smaller suv than the 9 and it was ok. Don't know how the 9 handles compared to the 5 I drove.

All good, reliable vehicles. Nice thing about the CX-9 is that it no longer requires premium gas. When I was in the market for one, that was a bit of a deal breaker...
Yeah that would add up real quick. Hard to imagine why a car manufacturer in that price point would require premium fuel. I get if you spend 75,000 on a car you might expect your buyers to buy premium. But not the 30-40k price point.

Smoke it if ya got it!
People gonna hate but the new journeys are pretty nice...
My wife used to have a Pilot, two body styles ago I think. I thought it was one of the most boring cares I ever drove, but my wife loved it. It was her car so I was ok with it being boring for me 
She now has a Kia Sedona and loves it even more. A lot more room inside and drives very nicely.

Have you looked at the Toyota Highlander? I ask cause 10 yrs ago both my parents and my Uncle family were looking to get out of a minivan's into something with more cargo space. My parent's bought the Pilot and My uncle decided on the highlander. Fast forward 10 yrs both cars are still running great, and neither owner will give them up.
Glad to head the Honda and the Toyota are running great for your family relations. That is their reputation. Are they having any kind of trouble with the body, doors, electronics, or anything else going out unexpectedly or prematurely?
I have been reading reviews and specs, trying to narrow down quite a few vehicles to a few that we can test drive.
This Highlander was on my list, but reviews say the 3rd row is too small to be used by an every day passenger. This is a requirement for me, so the Highlander has been crossed off the list at this time. The wife and I will be doing test drives in December with plans to buy something after the tax return comes back. Once we do the test drives, I'll have a better idea if the reviews are correct.
No just your normal wear and tear. I live in California so don't know how snow and salt would affect the body
