I don't think we really need AWD, so that's not a big issue. I like the Subarus a lot, but most seem to run slightly more than I want to spend.

We have a 850 T5. It's a 98. We actually really love the car. We just don't love getting it fixed constantly at Volvo prices. I almost bought a v70 XC, but I wasn't sure about the gas mileage. Then someone else bought the one I had my eye on.
