Looks like not a bad "crossover" you got. We have a Honda Element with 4WD and that good ole reliable Honda V6 -- it hauls an incredible amount of stuff (which we sometimes need to do) and gets 24 MPG highway miles.
Personally, I'd prefer a 4 cylinder (or 2 cylinder boxer, in my dreams) for better gas mileage, as Mark got -- but we're happy, and this category of car is very useful (though who knows how the Element is categorized?).
A small economy car won't satisfy all your needs, keep the
SUV miles down, use the bikes as much as you can, and only Laurie David will look down on your efforts (from her private jet plane).
