DH is a Toyota fan. I just want reliable and fuel-efficient. DD may inherit it when she's old enough to drive, too, unless she gets my Rav.

Thanks, all!

You might like the Mazda 5...it's kind of like a small minivan, but pretty spacious. And if the seat position is half as flexible as my Mazda 3, you would love it. I am your height and my hubby is about an inch shorter than your DH. We both fit well in my 3 (which I can't say for his older 626--I have to be eating the steering wheel to reach the shifter and clutch).

I think the Honda Element suggestion is good, too. I had my heart set on one of those at a car show a few years back...it was HUGE on the inside. But the gas mileage was a bit low for a small SUV.

My MIL has a newish Rav 4 that is really quite roomy and even with a V6 she gets good fuel economy...I think almost as good as much much smaller Mazda 3.
