Haven't read all the posts. Our Dodge Caravans are perfect for me. Just secure tank(s) when driving. Trunk is perfect for gearing up.

I think this car and many other similar SUVs make for great dive vehicles. One thing I wonder with them though is, is there a way to properly secure your gear in the cargo area. In the case of my current SUV, there are some rings that I can attache a cargo strap to and strap tanks and other gear down. Unfortunately, the rings are likely not attached to anything structural so any force with any significance such as one generated during an accident would likely tear the rings right out.
Does this SUV or any other have some strong attachment points that one could use to keep a tank from slapping you on the back of the head in the case of a car accident?
Another vote for the Honda Element. Super reliable, reasonable gas mileage, you can fit a million things and is made of washable material inside.
On the other hand, before I had an Element, I went diving with a Mini. It also works and it is always a conversation starter when you take a pair of doubles out of the back :cool2:
