My wife is of the Aaaaah, I need to be high up and wrapped in steel! school of thought also. She loves my Fit but doesn't feel safe in it at all. She loves her Grand Caravan (3.6, 25ish mpg). It lets her sit high and pretend that = safe, tows the camper and can carry absolutely everything. Pretty well priced, too. I was looking at the Mazda back in '12 when we got the minivan, but the higher mpg wasn't high enough to make up for the higher price and smaller size.
