Today marks the day that the engine died on our 2004 Subaru Outback. It is a sad day indeed. We are a one car family and need something to replace it. We are open to possibilities. We have two kids. I have some rental properties and do a fair piece of the work myself. I need to haul things on a regular basis and the outback was enough room to make that happen. My SO is much more interested in getting something with better gas mileage than the Outback had and I want something where I can still put some stuff on the roof or in the hatchback. We are of course buying used and looking for something that is cheap, reliable, and spacious. We live in a snowy place, but I grew up in it driving a Chevette, so I really do not believe the hype about snowy weather. We would love any recommendations for something that is going to last at least 7-10 years.
