2009 manual transmission Honda Fit. We have a 4 year old and 2 year old and this is our 1 and only family car. Oh and I'm 6' 220 lbs. A few times a year we need to borrow grandma and grandpas van for camping or other trips (would rent if we had too..). The other 360 days a year we save huge on gas and there is more than enough room for 99% of what you need in a vehicle. I just don't think the extra $$$ is worth the presumed convenience of a larger vehicle when that convenience only applies to a handful of days per year.
