Call it what you like.

Mazda calls it an "urban utility vehicle". I liked "mini-ute" or "cute ute". If you must, call it a mini van (although it is then pretty mini- not much taller than the Civic). Whatever, I call it mine.

Yup, we caved to the parental pressure. We have a new car. Still a manual, Dad, don't worry-with variable valve timing! But now we can seat six (and get about the same mileage!) (AND make it up the I-70 hill! Crazy talk...).
