What sets the CX-5 apart is that many reviewers have said this compact SUV is without a doubt the most fun to drive. We're also fans of this newest iteration of the Terrain's exterior design. It is also packed with features, such as a 7-inch touchscreen, a Pioneer audio system, and GMC’s IntelliLink infotainment system. Reviewers say the Terrain offers significantly more front and backseat legroom than its competitors. This popular compact SUV starts at a very reasonable $25,000, and it provides comfortable seating for five people in its 63.3 cubic feet of space. The Rogue also has a Bose stereo system, and Around View, which gives you a 360-degree view of the car's surroundings when parking. It's rare for vehicles in this class to have that many seats, so this feature makes the Rogue a good choice for those who know they will be frequently carrying more than five people. The Rogue, starting at $24,920, has a very large cargo volume of 70 cubic feet and comfortable seating for up to seven passengers because of its extra third row of seats. The CR-V also has five comfortably sized seats with an abundance of legroom, not to mention heated front seats and a dual-zone climate control system. Reviewers say that even though this vehicle is classified as a compact SUV, it still has 75.8 cubic feet of cargo space, and it feels like even more than that when you are inside. The CR-V, starting at $24,350, earned the top spot on US News & World Report’s "Best Affordable Compact SUVs" for good reason. It also comes with features such as all-wheel-drive, rearview camera, blind spot detective, high beam assist, and a powered lift-gate. It starts at $24,295 and gets 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. At this size, it’s hard to believe that it’s a compact SUV. It already sounds huge, but you’ll be surprised when it feels like so much more room from the inside. I was surprised the new RAV4 is one of the smallest, at just 1,219 mm of rear hip room.The newest Subaru Forester has a lot to love including its passenger volume of 76.1 cubic feet. They’re easy to check: just go to Google and tap in the name of any vehicle and “rear hip room." You’ll see straight away which are the widest. Richardson: It’s the shoulder room and the hip room that makes all the difference for space across the seats. There’s 996 mm of headroom, 1025 mm of legroom, and 1412 mm of shoulder room in the rear seats. If you break down the rear-seat space, it’s not too bad. Gentile: But one vehicle that might work is the Honda CR-V. There’s no way a parent is going to be happy back there. But Toyota scrapped the extra seats because there really wasn’t the space for them. It won’t be that expensive if he can find one still in decent shape. Richardson: If Ankur’s budget is tight, the 2012 RAV4 had a third row of seats as an option. He could fit a car seat on the left or right side – I always prefer that over the middle rear-seat spot. While we don’t know Ankur’s budget, it might be worth looking at a cheaper vehicle from the same family, like a Toyota RAV4. Gentile: Well, if he goes with the standard Lexus RX, the rear seats are pretty wide and spacious.
