Hi AJ,
I have a 2007 Jeep Compass that I bought brand new last year, and is Jeep's crossover model. I absolutely love it. I think we get about 27 mpg highway and about 23 city. I fill up about once every two weeks or so, and that is with driving in the city. It is small enough that you don't feel like you are driving a school bus (and you can fit into those tight spaces), but it is also big enough that we packed everything into it, including ourselves, for a week at the beach. It was also reasonably priced. Happy car hunting!
