Need to haul around six people in comfort and on the minimum amount of fuel? Honda's innovative FR-V carries a crowd and sips diesel. Is it a swollen Civic? A shrunken Odyssey? Never mind the comparisons, it's all about hauling the family around. It's not a wagon. It's not a minivan. It's a 3+3. 3+3? That's right ... three across the front ... but not quite like the old days ...

Equipped with the 2.2 liter i-CTDi diesel engine, Honda's FR-V delivers 53.3 MPG combined (approximately 44 US MPG) with a 0-62 MPH time of 10.1 seconds. The diesel mill churns out 140 horsepower at 4000 RPM.

The FR-V's cabin provides a flexible interior space, with three bucket seats across the front.

The FR-V's middle seat folds down flat, turning it into a kitchen table on wheels.

If you have kids, you know it will never be as clean and tidy as this picture ... the minute you roll out of the dealer's lot, the little darlings will go to work ...
