We are looking at used Subaru Foresters. Not quite 30mpg & 4cyl. Time to trade down the wife's 8 cyl. Dodge Durango.

for 6 cyl. Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. dunno about fitting a surf rod inside though....thats why I am thinking the Subarus...

You have twins.... Their stuff just gets bigger, as do they. Get another medium SUV. Your wife still has the Buick wagon?

we have a gm envoy. i hope it's not a buick wagon . just fine for trips. i just need something to get to work in and fit fishing stuff inside. the gas mileage is important for me now, my pickup is doing 16-18 max right now. 2 fill ups a week if i go anywhere at night.

2010 malibu was really getting hyped, but just found out they don't make V6, only 4.

You can never go wrong with an Accord.

I've been looking at the Malibu and I'm pretty sure they can be ordered with a 6, maybe not a V6, but a 6.
