Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

All our cars are slowly dying. My daughter, at 5'5" (and growing an inch per month) is the shortest of us. We are looking for cars that aren't enormous but that have enough back seat legroom for tall sons and daughters. (Son is 6'3".)

This might be really hard to do, I realize. We've been renting various cars/small SUVs to try out on trips and haven't made much headway on this project.

All suggestions appreciated.

We used to have a Ford Taurus and it is a smallish to mid-size car. We found it to be VERY roomy in the back seat so that even adults were comfortable back there. Bonus was the trunk was huge also, so plenty of room for groceries.Pretty good gas mileage, too.

My car obsessed teen seconds the Taurus and says the the Camry is also a real good choice (toyota's current issues aside)

If you are looking for used, he says Buick Park Avenue would work also.

VW Bug. My 6'4" hubby is very happy in his and I like to have my own nights out with it too as we could NEVER fit our whole family in it. LOL. Great gas mileage too!
