How about considering the Mazda 5 or Kia Rondo, those are cars with a third row seat. The Mazda 5 looks like a mini-minivan with dual rear sliders and room for 6. The Kia has traditional open rear doors but with room for 7. Both a wagon-types and can have the third row folded or stowed and both are 4 bangers so you should get high 20's low 30's MPG with both. Actually the Mazda 5 will be our next family vehicle coming up. Consumers Guide rated it a Best Buy.
