Question weekend DIYers what vehicle to buy?

I am a fairly busy DIYer not only for Porsche but in general. Due to gas prices about 1 1/2 years ago I traded in my Tacoma pickup for a Corolla which is a much better daily driver. Since I got the Corolla the large DIY projects have been minimal in scope but that's about to change. So I'm now in the market for a vehicle that is good on fuel so it can be used as daily driver and have the ability to haul stuff. As an example I am planning on a bath remodel soon and I will need to haul home a shower enclosure which comes in two large boxes. And now the wife wants a new clothes dryer so that is a large item. So what are you DIYers useing for a vehicle? I haven't ruled out a utility trailer to be pulled behind the Corolla. Because this is the daily driver I still need the ability to haul 4-5 people on occasion also. I know the perfect vehicle doesn't exist but what is close? What about Honda Element or Scion XB? Also has to fit in standard depth 2 car garage. Gee I'm not asking for much
