OK, I think I might have a winner this time. It looks like with some shopping around, I can get a lower mileage '06ish Saturn Vue, and I think that covers everything I'm looking for.

It's obviously going to be newer than my car.
It would definitely have plenty of room.
It has a 250hp 3.5L DOHC Honda motor, so decent ability to get out of its own way.
Gets surprisingly good gas mileage given the weight and power output.
They're not great, but decent looking IMO (I've always kinda' liked them :hsugh: ).

Only thing I'm not sure on is overall reliability. I know I'll have to deal with the timing belt, and those are always fun, but anyone know of any issues outside of this?
