Not a suv or a freaking crossover. A wagon. A big efficient ass with a with a lot of sexy storage that the dog can run around in. I think it might finally be time for a trade-in.

Any suggestions?

Was just thinking that. Me gusta Quattro.

Have to admit, I didn't know the price was so reasonable on the V70R .

Really going to have to consider it.

I almost bought a 1998 V70R that was for sale for $6000 in my area...sadly the owner sold it to someone who offered them $6500 (the people selling it had no clue they owned such a rare machine)

As much as I love the V60 it does not have a ton of storage...especially for a dog. Jetta Sportwagen would be better for that, and you can get 3-pedals!

They only complaint I've heard about the mazda 3's is that after about 2-3 years they start burning oil, other than that, they are really reliable. I don't know about the new model though. Honestly it is a great car though. Look at the Ford focus, Volvo V6o or V70r, bmw 3 and 5 series touring wagon, Audi a4, a6, etc., and my favorite yet hard to find, Cadillac CTS-V wagon. That's just a list of all the wagons out there that I think you might enjoy.

Go find a Turbo X SportCombi. Better yet, move to Europe and get a NG 9-5 Sportcombi. Or you could just find another cool SAAB wagon...

I have a 2001 Saab 9-5 wagon, 5spd. love the car (other than being fwd) it handles great, has a lot of room, tons of options and best of all the 2.3t accepts mods awesome. With just a Stage 1 flash I should be around 230hp/275tq. Its decently quick.

My 9-5 wagon absolutely destroys my buddies 850R everywhere. Saab is the answer for fwd euro wagons! And they come with three pedals :-)
