I don't know how much to expect from a comm that's so dead it's never even been alive, but I'll try anyway.

I love my car, but it's not long for this world. Thinking about what I want to get next. The reasons I have the minivan I do are storage capacity with decent fuel economy (FE) and a brand with long term reliability. The reason I'm asking here is because I wouldn't mind getting something a little smaller. Honestly, I kind of want a PT Cruiser, but I'm exploring the idea of something newer (built within the last 10 years), maybe even brand new. That and I don't think they pass the reliability test.

I don't really want an SUV because FE and there's always less interior space than you'd think. Don't want a truck because FE and I want the storage to be climate controlled. Would be interested in a hatchback, is Subaru my only real option? Also, I can't do full electric because I don't have a place to plug it in. Could I get a plug in hybrid to just plug in away from home? I may end up getting another minivan though.

TL;DR I'm looking for

• Good fuel economy (hybrid preferred)

• Internal storage capacity (climate controlled)

• Affordable (within reason)

What are my options?
