We currently only have a Boxster. We are buying a 100 year old, rural home on some land. We're going to need (a bigger boat) something with more hauling capacity. This will be used mostly by my wife, and for hauling the grandkids and guests so it needs to be nice and comfy. The missus won't want something that rides like a truck. She also doesn't want something like an expedition. I figure if we need to haul something that isn't appropriate for the back of an SUV, I can get a small trailer for that sort of thing. The missus would like a Macan or Cayenne (probably better for size and carrying stuff).

I'm also wondering what else is out there that would be 1) nice/comfy, 2) reliable, 3) useful for hauling people and stuff, and 4) reasonably priced for one with low miles (definitely under $40k max).

I know in another thread, I think, OneWhippedPuppy had mentioned getting some Ford instead of a Cayenne because you got something nearly as good for a lot less money and could even upgrade suspension and power and come out ahead.

Since this is going to be primarily used by the missus, we are not considering anything as large as a full sized pickup.

Thoughts?
