The 2012 Outlander is one of a small set of crossovers offering a third-row seat.
The Dodge Journey does too, and its V-6/automatic version is a good performer, and its revamped interior is much richer than before.
The Toyota RAV4 also offers either four- or six-cylinder drivetrains and a third-row seat.
If you're willing to skip the final two seating positions, crossovers like the Chevy Equinox offer seating for five, exceptional four-cylinder gas mileage, and much better road manners than the outdated Outlander.

It's aged less rapidly than other American-made Mitsus, but the 2012 Outlander still is bypassed by other compact crossovers. | A versatile layout, impressive performance, good ride comfort, and reasonable pricing all add up to make the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox a strong value—and a good pick for small families. | Practical without being too prim, the 2012 Dodge Journey cuts an interesting figure and spans the gulf between compact crossovers and family-grade SUVs. |
