Hi,
I have 2 kids (11 & 8), and I have many friends who are in your situation. The issue is: when we get used to something, it is hard to change. You could take your typical load of stuff to the Toyota dealer and put it in the xB for the test drive?
A few years ago, my family and I went camping for 2 weeks in my wife's Focus wagon: with a 16cu ft Thule on the roof, we fit 2 tents, 2 chairs, 1 small table, 3 burner stove, 4 sleeping bags & pillows, large "jogging" stroller, small portable crib, electric cooler, food, pots, pans, plates, etc., air mattresses, all our clothes, camera...and we still got ~30mpg.
Did you consider the new Honda Fit? The backseat is...magic.
