Ame, I'm sorry to hear about your accident. Hugs girl, the aftermath can suck.
My DH just went through the car buying process and we test drove, like, everything. He wanted a smaller SUV, reliability, good gas mileage (he was coming off of a Camry Hybrid), a tank with good capacity, and a smooth, quiet ride. He ended up with an Acura RDX - it's the smaller version of the MDX, and it cost around 35k. I wasn't in love with the console layout and the nav isn't the best one (read: intuitive) out there, but holy mackerel. When I get to drive it, it is heavenly. The ride is just so smooth and luxurious in a solid way. And lately I have been finding vehicles rather uncomfortable in terms of my back and how my legs sit, but this thing hugs and supports. DH is not a car guy ("whatever, it just has to get me from point A to point B"), but even he is smitten with this car. I can't give you an idea of how your DH would feel in it as DH and I are both on the shorter side. I did try out the backseat during test drives, but I don't recall how I felt about this one.
So, may I recommend you check out the Acura RDX?
