it does need to be a wagon

no way to find a V8 one around here

the statistical reliability ratings on these things are not that bad...

a Sube Outback is the safe choice - but expensive and boring - why do I need to pay a lot more to get a boring driver?

I can also buy my current Sube Outback back from the ins. co. and then get it fixed. Cost to repair from a shop with a good rec. is only $1,400 - the ins. co. est. to fix it is $5,500.

a Forester will work, and seems a bit less boring, but is till spendy
