I drive one for work. An SUV is just about the perfect news vehicle. Room for 4 (or 5 if you squeeze) and a place in the back for all your gear. The 4wd helps in the winter and on back roads that you sometimes have to drive to get to a story.
For personal use, it's a civic all the way. The news truck gets 15mpg. Especially with fuel prices today, that's horrible. I'll take my 40mpg car any day of the week
