I'm gonna vote for the sixth generation Chevy Malibu... Lots of headroom, decent rear legroom, and there's even a wagon version(the MAXX)... With some aeromodding, I'm getting nearly 40mpg on my rural commute, and here's lots more to gain... There are three engines available, ranging from 2.2 liters(only available on the sedan) to 3.9 liters(on the SS), with a 3.5 liter as the midrange engine... Due to a higher geared transmission, the 3.5 liter can get similar mileage to the 2.2... YMMV, however...
