With the change of jobs recently I no longer need to carry full load out of tools. My Durango has served me well, but is on it's last leg and is a gas hog.

I would like to pursue used small SUV or Crossover but know little to nothing about them. The little bit of research I have done points to 4 cylinder, maybe even hybrid if can catch one at good price. I am a little surprised at some of the 6 cylinder fuel economy ratings, thought they would be better.

My commute averages 65 miles each way, 75% highway and 25% city. Fuel economy is first priorty with reliability close second.

Looking for opinions from those who own one and mechanics who work on them.
