I still vote for the VW Jetta sport wagon. You will get 40 mpg with it.

Quoted from absocountry2:I still vote for the VW Jetta sport wagon. You will get 40 mpg with it.
The last Jetta I worked on was about 90% plastic under the hood. Exaggerating of course, but I was not impressed by what was under the hood and how hard it was to get to everything. Also, the parts were ungodly expensive.
But they do not need many parts. It seems like a lot because they put that big cover over everything to make it look nice. Pop the top cover off and the cover underneath and they are as easyas anything else is to work on.
Quoted from Mocean:My wife has a fit. I have a 2006 xB and it's a great pin-mover. I'm 6' 6" and fit comfortably with a pin in the back. I can also have a passenger and someone in the shorter of the split backseat seats (never tried that trick with a wide body). I'm guessing that for a pin to fit in a fit you have to have the driver seat way forward. For me to fit in the fit at all, I need the driver seat to essentially be in the back seat. The height of the xB and the chair style seats are awesome.
30mpg city and highway. Find an old xB. They rule.
Another vote for 1st gen Scion XB. 2006 here and I've hauled many a WPC and a passenger.

30+ MPG, fits NIB Pins. =]
Nice, those are pretty sweet. I'm still wondering if anybody knows if a Fiat 500 will fit a pin.
Quoted from iepinball:Check out this thread from a few weeks ago: http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/car-that-can-haul-pinball
Honda FIT all the way for me!
I started that thread.
I just bought a Ford Taurus-X with a tow package added. Nice car 22 mpg+ can fit 5 adult passengers with some room for cargo, or 1 passenger and a pin. Now to find a light weight trailer.
The only problem is the car is a re-import. The owner's manual is in French!
Funny thing, my last pin was a re-import, takes 11 mm bolts for the legs and the attract mode is in French.
Too bad I dont speak French!

Quoted from Wickedbass:You need a pickup for those day when someone calls and asks you to clean out a bunch of old pinball parts
There are a few heads in the front as well.
I never get those calls 
What about a Chevy Sonic hatchback. I was doing a job for a car dealership the other day and they suggested it. I loved the look of it, but I don't know anybody who's had one.
I can fit 0 pins in my VW GTI. Maybe maybe 1 EM, but I don't want to cram it in there and scrape everything to hell.
