Oh you can fit in the back, just not real comfortable. It is funny to see a whole family get out of a little car. One time we stopped at a rest stop and my dad, my mom, me, my best friend, and two dogs got out. It was a little embarassing as everyone was starring.

Looks like an 1980 Honda Civic. They would be OK if they where priced more in line with what your where getting, really shouldn't be any higher priced then a Focus but from what I recall they are HIGHER then a Mustang GT.

20 grand for a little car. a british built, bmw designed car. no thanks. i'll buy a civic si hatchback for 15 grand and have better performance, a superior suspension set-up(wishbone vs. struts), a little more room, less weight. and less people putting their nose on my car window.
my dad hated that when he got a 94 stang gt. everyday there would be fingerprints or noseprints on the car. it was one of the 1st 10 in houston.

x=hate 'em. I have one stuck in the grill of my SD, and can't get it out! The people inside it are getting cranky, they've been in there for 3 weeks and it's starting to smell.

Daughter has one, the S model, loaded with everything you can think of. Loves to drive it but hates it also. Every time she goes to the store, she loads up all the seats with shopping bags, and complains there is no room. Sold a perfectly good Explorer to get this, and now has pains with the size of the car. Looking to buy a new Escape this weekend. Anyone want a great used Mini Cooper S, 2002 model, 11000 actual miles for $22000 you come and get it. Live in Virginia Beach, VA.

Well obviously, it's not fun for the same reasons a truck is, but they're sooo fun to drive. My father-in-law has one, and it's very, very strange to get used to absolutely no body roll speeding through tight corners (especially after driving a truck). They don't corner like they're on rails, they corner like they're between rails!! I still prefer my Ranger, but for a weekend drive through the mountains the Mini is a blast. Try this: Keep your truck and just Rent one!
