My wife's first car was a 1996 Civic (EX?).  We had it until earlier this year when a Buffalo winter and street parking destroyed its underbelly.  The repairs were worth more than the car.  We got it to 126,000 miles. I have no doubt that if we had stayed in Virginia or had a garage to put it in it would still be going for us today (believe it or not it was sold at auction for $1100-we donated it to charity).
We bought a new 2003 Honda Element together and it runs "like new" with over 100,000 on it.  Plenty of leg room for growing kids.  Just don't have a family bigger than 4 total.

Just recently we bought a 2004 Honda Pilot and I absolutely love it.  For an SUV that can seat 8 it doesn't feel very big.  It has tremendous sight lines compared to the Element.  If you have the need for hauling lots of people (especially kids) and/or stuff over long distances this has to be the best vehicle.  4 power outlets. 4!  The Element has one.  Between the DVD system and the need to charge cellphones, the one outlet just doesn't cut it.
