We've got a Toyota Matrix...one of the new popular crossover types. I like the fact that we have trunk space and can stack things ceiling high if need be. We've only got one little one and her carseat sits in the middle and my hubby and I have plenty of foot space up front. I've fit two carseats in it before and crammed another person into the backseat between them in the middle and another time I had the two carseats next to each other with a person sitting next to them. That works for crusing around town briefly but not so much for a big car trip. The mpg are great...anywhere from high 20s in town to 32+ on the freeway. If you're thinking fuel efficiency over space this car is fun to drive and from the "reliable" toyota company. Happy car hunting to you :)
