We’ve owned two mdx’s and they are both better than any of the other tier 2 cars. We tested them against those cars both times. If the OP’s sole concern is size and usability of third row, the MDX has the most seat adjustments and third row legroom of them all. My 5’11 son rode 3 hours in the third row last week when we towed our camper with our MDX. Six of us in the car.

Truth is, none of those tier 2 cars are half as convenient as a van for constant third row use, but we use ours on a weekly basis and it does really well. Cupholder, chargers, ac works great back there too

Grand Highlander or TX if that’s more your speed.

Toyota Sienna if you don’t care about a mini van.

We went with a Rivian and would highly recommend the vehicle. It is an EV and we get about 340 miles on a full charge. We also charge at home most of the time.

Suburban, Yukon, Mercedes GLS

if electric - EV9. The new 2025 Carnival Hybrid is also compelling

Rivian R1S

Navigator

It’s huge and it guzzles gas, but it easily carries six adults and a decent amount of stuff.

Chevy suburban >> it just has a certain feel to it, you feel like a big baller/king of the castle. Chevy V8s are bulletproof and legendary and sound great as well. Less embarrassing than a mini van too

Wagoneer - great vehicle

What is your metric for “best”?

Rivian R1S it’s the best so far

Has anyone moved away from NY and successfully resigned from the NY bar? What are the consequences if you just don’t pay?

Is there someone I can pay to do it? Should I just pay the $375 to stay active to avoid this nightmare?
