Car Talk: Need AWD dog and people hauler w/ good power.

[shawn and gwyn]

although chevy doesnt make them anymore.. one of the best AWDs we ever had was the chevy astro ext.. 3 rows of seats, easly folded down or removed. bullet proof AWD system. and a great motor.. we used to get about 20 mpg. had plenty of power,  they made them through 05 i think.  4 to 5k will get you a realy nice low miles one. and parts are everywhere.

The Flex with Ecoboost is great. The motor will scoot with good mileage and the flex is plenty big for 4 people and two dogs.

I am not sure where the Touareg starts price wise. But we LOVE our TDI Touareg. It fits 4 large adults comfortably and there's room for two mid sized dogs in the back.

Range Rover Evoque.  Just over the price, but damn is it great.

Diesel Excursion.
