or a Subaru Legacy.

Indeed, forgot it.

I'd go with the 2009 Mazda 6 AWD

What can you find in the way of Mazda CX-7s?

That would be a good option too.

there is no awd option for the '09 6...

As far as the cx7, I test drove the 2.3t GT and loved it, thought it handled great. I have thought about the subu legacy and will suggest it. AWD isnt necessary but its a nice option to have. My family has never seen ownership of a bmw andm although the x-drive is new to me (never test driven it) I will keep it in the back of my mind. Nissan Altima will also be considered.

Land Rover Freelander 2 might be a good option too, I think you guys call is the LR2?

I saw one the other day and liked it, but I can imagine it would be plagued by electrical problems...

audi A4 is just overpriced. might as well get a camry, honestly.
mazda 6 makes so much more sense (and value)

IS250 out of reach?

I don't see how a used Audi A4 is overpriced. I did a quick search on Autotrader and an '06 A4 ranged from $19,000 to $33,000 CANADIAN dollars. My dad is looking at an '01 A4 and it would cost him about $10,000.

Wouldn't have thought so, we had a Discovery S1b 300TDI from new in 1995 until 1999, the only problems we ever had with it was the dashboard under the windscreen lifting up a little, before it was crashed in 1997/1998 (I forget) the front right indicator used to fill up with water (though still worked) and the day before we sold it I snapped the CD button off the stereo and lost it...Ooops

What would cost an old gen Passat...?

And please, please just don't get an SUV.

what condition were they in? now's a good time to buy, obviously.

If its any interest, she went with a Subaru Outback. Plainly, she didnt think to highly of my suggestions.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Perhaps, but it was a fantastic fit for her needs.

4WD, sure footed handling, conservative and still somewhat sporty, but epically reliable.

You should have mentioned that in the first place
