New car again?

So we are leaving in a few minutes to go car shopping again. I love my Explorer but I don't love the gas mileage of 15 mpg in town with Kris driving a minimum of 50 miles a day. So we are going to downsize to a car with better gas mileage and a lower monthly payment. G-pa is watching Addy so we can test drive cars today b/c taking a car seat out of many different cars is not our idea of fun. We have narrowed it down to Honda (great car they run forever), VW (my favorite), Dodge (cute mini SUV), Nissan (Kris gets a corporate deal, no haggling over prices). So we will have a car for a few years but will go back to a SUV when we have 3 children. We are also looking at Hybrids, great gas mileage but a little more money up front. So wish us luck.
