Trying to decide on new car

Christa and I have to decide soon if we are going to get rid of the van and get something new or not. Hopefully we will have some answers today about the transmission in the van, whether it is shot or can be fixed somehow. We replaced the tranny at 57K miles and now the new one is doing the same thing at 98K. One should not have to put a 3rd transmission in a car before 100k miles.

If we get something new, we wil probably lease unless we can find an amazing deal. Here are the SUV's we will be looking at:

Saturn Vue
Saturn Outlook
Toyota Highlander
Toyota 4Runner
Nissan Nurano
Nissan Xterra
Nissan Pathfinder

I don't have any experience with automatic transmissions. Is it normal to lose one at 57,000 miles?

I didn't know you did enough off roading to need an SUV. Is it mainly for driving in snow on the way to Tahoe?
