Hi,
We're in the market for a new/used car to replace our 10yo CR-V. We need something with reasonable fuel efficiency but open cargo space in back (like a small wagon or minivan). We looked at the Honda FIT, which seemed perfect, but then I saw that it gets lousy rear impact crash test ratings, so that's not an option. The SUV's we've looked at all seem to get horrible gas mileage. We have two kids, so we don't need a third row of seating, although we could use it for carpooling. Is a minivan the only way to go to get that open cargo space, reasonable fuel efficiency and decent crash test ratings? We need the open cargo space because sometimes we have our two dogs with us-so a sedan body type won't work. Thanks!
