The mileage I was comparing was for automatics, because I haven't the first clue how to drive sticks. :)
As for the SUV thing, honestly, if that's such a big concern, I don't know why you'd even get on the road.
Not to be facetious, but in a perfect world that would actually be my preference. I just don't want to live in a city big enough and public transported-enough to offset the need for a car.
And really, the idea that an Accord is going to do anything more for you than a Civic just because it's slightly longer is rather amusing to me, because it's just not going to make any appreciable difference.
I tend to agree with you (although I wonder, does the fact that it's heavier make any difference?). I know it's an issue for my father, though, and since my parents are going to help me pay for the car, whatever it turns out to be, that's something to consider.
