Which, due to expectations on an SUV, meant it felt really, really cramped with four people.  My knees were jammed up against the front passenger seat, and I'm not exactly big.

I'm not big on the crossovers.  I like cars and trucks.  Blending the two feels weird icky.  My father drives a Toyota Tundra, and he drove a Chevy Suburban for years (which I learned to drive in).  Those were both much, much too big for me.  Anything with a V8 is like driving a shopping mall.

But I don't like having the car-like near-horizontal windshield that crossovers tend to have.  I like it nearly vertical, because I feel like I can see a lot better.

We traded in our Honda for an FJ Cruiser a few months ago.  (Before y'all start throwing things at me, I want you to know it was not my choice, since I take the train and drive maybe 20 times per year.)  The mileage blows, although I can usually push it up quite a bit vs the EPA estimates due to the fact that I drive in a way that would make an old lady look like a Nascar driver.

I'm trying to convince her to let my friend and I convert it sometime in the next year or two to either biomass, electricity or hydrogen (all of which you can get in DC).  She's convinced we'll destroy it.

Still, it drives really nicely.  I like it.  If they'd make an electric one, I'd trade this one in and buy it in a heartbeat.
