I know they are ugly as sin, but how about a 3 to 4 year old Honda Element? Based on the Civic platform, they are "somewhat" compact, but amazingly versatile. With the swing-out rear doors, loading & unloading the little ancle biter will be a snap.

I'll second that.
Three couples I know bought them when their babys arrived and they love them (the babys and the Element).

Might be tough finding one for 10k though. They have good resale value. (The Element not the baby)

LIFE IS SHORT.
DON'T BE A DICK.
