Mini vans are great.   Especially a used Honda odyssey.   I also have a large diesel truck that is great for work,  but not for errands

Currently driving a minivan, but have minimal commuting distance; previously had a 1st Gen Vibe (as mentioned near the beginning of the thread.)

If I was looking for something new (to me), one that would be on my short list, that I haven't seen mentioned yet, is the Mitsubishi Mirage: probably the closest "modern" equivalent to the Geo Metro.

Please be careful about used Mitsubishi models. I've read that they cut car production and parts drastically for the zN American market, so research fully your ability to repair.

That would definitely take it off (or move it far down) the list!  
Thanks for the heads up!
