If you are really considering a SUV for space reasons and not off road capability then I'd suggest looking at a wagon. The VW Passat and Suburu Legacy/Outback wagons have about the same cargo capacity as a mid size SUV but are much more fun to drive and cheaper to operate. I own a '00 Passat wagon and I love it. They have double DIN slots in the dash making the empeg installation easy without needing any sort of retrofit kit (and you can sill have a CD player, if that's important). The new Passats have steering wheel mounted audio controls but I don't know anything about them.

I'm a big proponent of wagons. For some reason that I don't understand, people in the US love SUV's when they really aren't the best choice for how most people use them.

Though if family utility is your top criteria you really can't beat a minivan. Then again, that Aztec is really a SUV shell on top of a minivan platform.
