I bought a Scion xB in 2009 . . . before I even started cycling or triathlon. My bike fits in the back without even taking wheels off. There are also lots of roof rack options. I also bought a trailer hitch and installed myself which was VERY easy and can use a hitch rack as well. I drive about 64 miles round trip to work so mileage was important to me too. It gets around 31 mpg no matter where i go. I have the manual transmission.
I meant to add, that I looked at the Honda Fit as well. I needed a lightweight hatchback style car that got good mileage and could be flat towed behind a small motorhome. The list was pretty short. I found the Fit to be a little bit harsh riding for my long daily commute.
