I'll third that. My wife's bug has been a nightmare. I will say that VW has been pretty good about recalls and warranty extensions, however. VWs also do well in foul weather on the right tires.
But-if you're used to a Maxima, I feel most VW products will be cramped and not offer the crash protection you seek. I prefer mass in my non-sporting vehicles. I would look at the 300m with all wheel drive and the hemi. Or....my personal favorite, The MB wagon 4matic. Pricey new, but with consumers flocking (still!) to buy suvs, the used MB wagon market is very doable in your price range.
