When talking of comfortable cars with higher clearance, without a second thought we conjure up the mighty SUVs in our minds. But what about cars other than SUVs! Do they step up higher than their counterparts? We’re going to find that out soon with our top picks of the season.

Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester and the Mazda 5 are a few good combos of SUV style driving seats with the horsepower of your mini car.
