There was already a very similar thread:

I've been looking at the same type of vehicles. From what I've read the Mazdas CX-5 looks like a great choice. The problem with cross-over/small SUVs is that they are often underpowered and no fun to drive. Apparently the CX-5 doesn't suffer from those problems.

For budget vehicles I'd also take a look at the:

Mistubishi RVR
Hyundai Tuscon
Ford Edge
Chevy Equinox

If you are spending more money I'd go:

Subaru Outback
Volvo XC
Acura RDX
Infiniti EX

Have no first hand experience with any of these vehicles other than the Acura RDX, which my father owns. That thing was a lot of fun to drive. I'm hoping to begin test drivign vehicles in the near future, so any information I'm giving is based on second hand research.
