Help finding the right vehicle

[Rocky]

My mom lives out of Calgary a bit and commutes into the city. She's spending a fortune on gas because she drives an 02 Xtera. She's thinking about getting something else, but she's quite picky and wants something:

-With cargo space (for saddle & golden retriever)

-all wheel drive (she has to drive in from a far ways even through winter) *front wheel would be fine though I think

-gas efficient! (the reason for looking at another vehicle in the first place)

-under 25,000

Is there anything that would work? Suggestions? Or maybe an idea for a cheaper beater that could be driven in good weather to save money on gas?

subie wagon would be my guess if she's used to awd...

[Masked Bandit]

Honda CR-V (2002 - 2004)?

[guessboi]

new = suzuki sx4 awd. fits all your requirements. :D

[adam c]

does it have to be new or can it be used?

SUV or will a wagon work?

Perhaps Mazda 3 or Subaru Wagon?

Subie

That's one of their better cars. They look like ass IMO..

[pinoyformula]

standard or auto?

[Isaiah]

+1 for CRV.

[schocker]

I vote CRV

A CRV isn't that much better on gas.

There is quite a bit of difference actually.

[Mitsu3000gt]

CRV, RAV-4, X-Trail, Impreza wagon would all be pretty decent choices.

[E46..sTyLez]

If she's driving the supercharged Xterra then pretty much anything would be better on gas

[Rocky]

Looks like she went with the ol reliable Civic and is gonna go to using two cars...

Thanks for the responses everyone! Beyond is so friendly :D

nah, ford escape isn't fuel efficient...

my 2 cents.

[RX_EVOLV]

I vote for Rav4

[Perfect Dark]

Legacy wagon 2.5i for my vote...lots of room, AWD, and decent on fuel.
