Have you tried driving a Honda CR-V?
I did years ago, I should give it another chance. I shouldn't make decisions based on decade old experience.
I haven't owned one but have several friends who have been very happy with them for years. For some reason that car just popped into my head, as it seems to have the space, fuel economy, and features you are looking for. I would hate not having a spare tire, though. Perhaps one would be available as an after-market option.

Not necessarily, but the 5 models I've owned have been very reliable and long-lasting. But I've been fortunate to have an honest, independent local mechanic who specializes in Volvos.
