I want a new car

Psst... I really can't stand Mark's car, the Scion XB. I whack my head on the roof every single time I buckle Jack into his booster or reach into the back seat for something. I'm sick of driving a stick shift in traffic. At only 100 horsepower, I have to press the gas all the way to the floor just to get it to 60mph. I chronically suffer from "big trucks eating my ass" syndrome. 

So - the Scion XB must go. Here is what I want in a replacement car:
1) Must not be a large SUV.
2) Must not be a mini-van. (ie - I don't need another large people-mover.)
3) Must be able to fit all 3 car seats (2 Britax Roundabouts and one Britax Parkway booster) comfortably.
4) Must get good gas mileage.
5) Must have reasonably good "get-up-and-go" power.
6) Must have navigation system, ipod ready and XM radio.

Does such a car even exist?

I LOVE my Saturn Outlook Crossover. It's the same depth size of a van, but not bulky like SUV's. It's not considered a SUV...it's in between a van & SUV. There are other model Crossovers on the market, check those out. If you want to take a test drive, come on down!

very cool car - but out of our price range... =( I will probably be forced to live with the error of our ways since the Scion will soon be paid off. Remind me to do more research next time!
