My sister and her husband were recently shopping for a new (used) car.

I tried talking her into something like a Camry or Accord and just rent or borrow a bigger vehicle as needed. They ended up getting a 2007 Honda Pilot 4WD, which is capable of 20mpg highway.

Should've gotten a Sienna, capable of 30 MPG highway lol!
My family used the passenger and storage capacity in that van pretty regularly until I got my own car and began driving myself places. Then the vehicle was too large, and a whitetail deer decided it was time for the family to upgrade to a Prius. Double the fuel economy and still has plenty of storage when it's needed.
Bigger is not always better.
