You might look at a Liberty too...not bad as long as you don't mind a rig a little smaller than a G/C.

If you are looking for an all around rig for her that is tough, gets decent mileage and is fantastic in the snow look at a Subaru but steer clear of any between 99-03 due to head gasket issues.

The misses drives a Subaru, also all time all whdel drive, that gets 26-28 mpg. Petty good, but heed FC on the head gasket issue. At a shop it will cost you $1,500-2,000 due to the engine design. I don't think the problems ended with the '03 models, either. Just call All Wheel Drive Auto in Kirkland or visit their website.

I no longer recommend Subarus, even though ours has been on the road for 200,000 miles.

Yeah they've been pretty good all around. The diesels suck but they were short lived.
Gas is probably 16 or so around town, 20+ on the highway. Definitely not awesome mpg's. They've mostly got a 3.7L V-6 in them. There's a couple manual trans'd 4 cylinders around. They would be extreme base models and I'd steer clear of them. You'd need a push to make it up a hill.

Hw about a Toyota Rav4? I drove one once and it felt nice and nimble.
