What to buy ? a 4 cyl SUV ?



My sister lives in the San Fran Bay Area, CA. She has 2 children who are 16 and 14. So they are quite tall.



She is looking for a 4 cylinder SUV that will accomodate her kids comfortably in the rear seat. She does not need a 4x4 / all AWD.



She was told that she would have to buy 6 or 8 cyl SUVs if she wants more leg room at the back for her kids.



Are there any 4 Cyl SUVs that have the leg room at the rear seats for her children ?



Any suggestions ?



Thanks



Kalpana



Uh, so what she's looking for is a tall/large two wheel drive WAGON then?

And what is so wrong with 6 or 8 cylinders? My 8 cylinder Trans Am gets better fuel economy on the highway than my 4 cylinder Subaru. (28 vs 27)

Methinks you need to rethink this. Why are you asking what you're asking?

Toyota Highlander is available with 4 cylinder and front wheel drive only. One of the best out there.

Are you talking new or used? If late-model used, the Hyundai Santa Fe came in a four-cylinder, FWD model, and is pretty roomy. (The new 2007 model only seems to come with V6.)
