me and mymmeryloss agree lol. the 4 cylinder 4 runner my parents have has a decent amount of power and is fairly roomy

and with 160k miles the manual transmission still shifts great, and in great mechanical shape

i talked with my wife and she is happy with whatever i get however im not a selfish d**k who wants a sports coupe that why i asked for opinions on personal experiences no offense directly at you. and this is turning into a tom and jerry episode now between u and ron, s*** is hilarious though. and if my wife chose for me id prob have a prius and paint my nails too but i run the house and i like talking to people on here...........................at least i use too till it turned into a script from jerry springer!
i never said get a sports car. i only meant that the fit/xb weren't sporty. i dont think your wife would actually want u to look like a man with painted fingernails. unless she's got a freaky fetish...

seriously u can't make jokes on the internet anymore.

2010 Toyota 4Runner Tech Specs
Interior Dimensions front/rear inches

Headroom 39.3 / 38.6
Legroom 41.7 / 32.9
Shoulder Room 57.8 / 57.8
Hip Room 56.5 / 55.7

2012 Honda Fit
Headroom 40.4 / 39.0
Legroom 41.3 / 34.5
Shoulder Room 52.7 / 51.3
Hiproom 51.5 / 51.3

that's my argument against a 4runner. even the 2010, which is probably out of your budget range has less head and leg room than a fit. it is a bit wider though. the older models though will be smaller. i didnt try that hard to find specs on the interior dimensions. so someone else can help fill the rest in.
