car for mom

[b*saint]

Crv. Subarus have terrible gas mileage. I would stay away from them.

There's "moms" and then there's moms.

So my mom's '04 Subaru Legacy Wagon's (second) tranny has finally gone, and she's decided she'd rather get a new car than repair this one, so we have been investigating a few options. She's looking for, in order of importance:

All wheel drive (since we live in CT)
Lots of cargo space for hauling (hatchback/wagon - no SUVs)
Good gas mileage (she commutes over an hour, one way, over five times a week)

So we have been looking at various possibilities such as the 3 series wagon, a4 avant, passat wagon, volvo xc70, and of course subarus.

Any other cars that match the criteria we should be lookin at?
