Okay, so I’ve been driving a sweeeeet Pontiac Vibe for the last 21 years, and it seems to be singing its swan song these days, as we crossed 297,000 miles this week. I’m starting to look at what’s available. I’d love any suggestions…here’s what I’m looking for:
-a hatchback
-with AWD
-that gets at least 30mpg
-that I can fit my bike with wheel still on, in the trunk if I fold the back seats down
-that will give me some longevity (hard to beat a car that gave me 21 years and almost 300K miles) --which is why I’m posting directly on the Toyota subreddit, because nothing else lasts quite as long…
-bonus points if it comes in a manual transmission
-bonus bonus points if the back seats fold completely flat, so I can sleep in it.
Thoughts?
RAV4, or Corolla cross. I know how to hatchback but good fuel economy, with the hybrid system plenty of cargo space, and optional all wheel drive. If this doesn’t float your boat a Prius could do the job, or maybe an old Lexus ct, but does not have AWD
