Just over a month ago we purchased a 'newer' car for us... 2004 Cross Country Volvo.  It's in really good condition and I've forgotten how nice it is to ride in such a 'comfortable' car. I can't lie - I do like the heated seat option and has worked well for our drive in the morning.  Especially since Portland is still in full winter mode!  The more I drive the car the more I like it.  I couldn't be happier with our selection.  A few weeks ago when I took Bailey up to the mountain it was so nice to be able to reach the ski's easily off the top of the rack which made me realize yet another reason why I like having a wagon.  Now I'll have to start biking again since I'll be able to reach my bike easily as well.
