Thank you all for your responses,
I love all of the positive info on this car. Tomorrow we will test drive the car and see what we think. Next question, what brake system to buy. I like the reviews of the SMI air force one.

I highly, highly recommend the ReadyBrake system. You just can't beat it, IMO - Very simple, cable-operated braking system with ZERO electronics to worry about failing and burning up your brakes (like is known to happen with some electronic box type systems). Costs waaaaaay less than anything else, especially if you haven't bought a tow bar yet, and you get their ReadyBrute Elite kit that comes with tow bar AND brake system for 'bout the same as you'd pay for just a tow bar from anyone else. Fairly simple installation, too - no tapping into vehicle's brake system or electronics, you just run/install a physical cable from brake pedal to front bumper, thats it.
I see that the Fusion is off your list, and you're debating between the Equinox and Jeep Cherokee. Can definitely understand that if you need a lot of storage space, the Fusion wouldn't work, as its batteries do take away some of the trunk space. I think of the two you've boiled down to, I'd prefer the Jeep, but obviously its your decision. Good luck, whatever you decide. :)
