Going off-road or not? If you anticipate going off-road a lot, then go for a Land Rover (Discovery 2 o 3 , or the new Freelander 2) with a diesel engine. The new Freelander 2 is nice to drive (more powerful than the previous gen Freelander), and comes with a sunroof. If not off-road, I hear that the used Cayenne's are getting quite affordable these days (seems to be quite a few running around KL lately). The XC60 is pretty nice to drive, but I only did a normal test drive in one, so can't say more about it. Rode in a friend's RX300/Harrier, and frankly, was not impressed; it's also very common these days.
But the one "SUV" that impressed me the most for on-road driving and feel was of course, none other than the X6. Loved it on the highway, small winding and hilly country roads, in the rain, fog and snow. But can only carry 4 persons.
