I suggest a Subaru Outback..they run well with little maintenance for 10+ years and come with all wheel drive...comfortable to ride in and a good bit of room for hauling. I suggest you read some of the car websites that talk about the cars and what is good and bad about them. Carmax is one...Truecar or something like that is another...here is a forum I read for months before I bought my new one.
