Topic: City car for mom, toddler, infant, and small dog?

We are looking for a new car to zip me, my 2 kids (infant and toddler) and sometimes my dog around the city.  I want a car that is small enough to park easily, but big enough for my kids and their gear.  A hatchback for the dog is an added bonus.  Does anyone have experience with the Prius, Audi A3 or the Mini Cooper?  I'd love to hear your thoughts good or bad!

The Audi A3 is your best bet. A friend owns one and it's reasonably room with decent cargo space. The Minis are adorable (my dream car) but are tight on cargo space, and I don't think a dog would be happy to be smashed in with the stroller etc. The Prius is the common sense option, but again, I don't know about fitting even a small dog in the back. Good luck!
