I kinda knew it was on a truck frame when I got it....guess that's why I didn't think it was that bad.

Just bought my wife the fully loaded 2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring.

We really love it. A lot of fun to drive and very luxurious on the inside. And I like the look of it on the outside too.

ETA:

We got white with the white leather interior and all the bells and whistles

My wife's aunt has a Venza that is a really nice crossover...unfortunately, they have discontinued them...so 2015 is their last model year.

I would concur on the Murano statements that they are sporty and nice as well. My parents have one that is very nice...but they are a bit noisy (both engine noise and road noise).

Mazda's quality has improved greatly, so any of the CX series (whatever size you want) is probably a good move.

With all of that being said, I really like the Buick Enclave. They aren't too cheap...the base is listed at $39K, so expect on paying around $45 ($50 for a Premium Package. They are big, with great interiors and are very quiet.

May want to broaden your criteria. Most cars can do that.

90% of the suggestions I here are SUVs, not crossovers.

We have a Ford Explorer as our main family vehicle and decided to get a crossover that could fit a car seat.

We narrowed our choices down to a Buick Encore and Subaru Crosstrek. Decided to go with the Subaru because I like the way it handled with AWD.

I use it as my daily vehicle now, not the most power in the world but I have no problem driving 75mph on the interstate everyday.
