X3, we have a Pilot and love it but the mileage is not great for what Fitz is looking for. The new Ford Escape with the ecoboost motors are sweet also.
My mom an sister both have em. Drove em both an they do great in the snow. I'm not one for a minivan lookin vehicle though hahahaha
My mom had an Equinox and she loved it. My mother in law has a CRV and she loves it. Either way I don't think you'll be disappointed.
We have one. It's not bad ... not very good on gas. And we just spent $2000 on the all wheel drive but its a 06.
My sister had one and her biggest complaint was the lack of power and the mpg. I drove it a few times and it left me very underwhelmed. I'm a GM guy for the most part, but the Equinox is one I'd stay away from.
