    Or you could just get the Toyota Yaris hatchback it will fit you and 4 children with room to spare apparently.

    Okay so they wanted to give me one of these when I rented a car!
    First of all I could touch the passenger side window from the driver's seat!
    Second the Excursion is paid for!
    Third it is paid for!!!

    We have done the math - it would take nearly 6 years to see an advantage of purchasing a new car...

    But you can drive the Yaris between the rear doors of an Excusion to improve it's gas mileage (A US Auto Magazine did this with a Honda to "win" a fuel efficiency competition between various auto magazines as it was officially not breaking the rules)

    My gas prices are now stuck at 80c/l

    Can a Yaris even go over the Grapevine and get me to Disneyland??

    Technically it could. My kid brother is 5 10m my middle brother, dad and I are all slightly over 6 ft and my moms short. We technically all fit in a Civic rental while in Southeast Asia, of course it was VERY tight and it wasn't exactly 3 across :p Of course if seatbelt laws were enforced we may have been up the creek. (Seatbelt only required in front)

    Does your area require you to pay before you pump? I hate that and in NJ the service centres used to yell at my dad (he puts a locking cap on behind the flap release)

    The Chevrolet Volt is very promising. Oh and I find it funny how Honda may be bringing Diesel Civic's here :)

    Makes me remember the day I decided to give up my Jeep Cherokee when the gas was the same price, lol. I thought it was too expensive to run!

    *LOL* You may well get it... They've turned another corner with the 2010 Mustang. Heading away from the nostalgia "look" quite a bit, in my opinion. Sharp, yes... But I'm really glad mine is a 2005.
