My current 5mt is the RA cryo gearset with straight cut 1-3, and even then, I am nervous.

Just think a little more on calling out whether or not something is helpful, because one should always take into consideration the holistic picture of the system, not just select features that are "attractive" to their lifestyle and life trajectory.
Then the family grows +2 more and they should have bought a Sienna.

Then the kids love camping, the Rogue becomes a better option with the ground clearance and storage.

It's great that you want to feel important and knowledgeable, that's why half us fuckwads are here, BUT the OP has some fundamental questions about his intentions before seriously considering the details you think are the deciding factor between a mini-van and a car that can go 0-60 in 4.4 seconds.
