You could get a nice reliable minivan, er MDX. I drove one when I was shopping and had to keep convincing myself it wasn't a minivan.

Whenever I see the back of a RDX, it screams minivan too. The new MDX doesnt look like a minivan as much, now it looks more like an appliance, more specifically a shaver. LOOK AT IT! The front is like the latest Remington electric shaver!

Oh and our new Civic with 2,000 miles on it, had an issue with the wipers where they wouldn't turn themselves off no matter what you did with the stalk. Very annoying. Then there's the jerky transmission, the stupid lag from the gas pedal, and the fact the automatic gearbox "creeps" along at like 25mph when a cold engine.............so you'll likely ram into a concrete wall at the next parking garage.
