Picking up on the alternatives here.

If you can get by with a little less interior space give a few XC60's a look. I was impressed with one for sale near me during my 2 year search to replace my 2002 V70 base.

The one I saw had a bad head gasket. Before the 60 series took root I found my replacement V70 so I didn't give the 60 any kind of "educated shot".

A 1995 Subaru Legacy, my only vehicle purchased new, became the Outback the next year by humping the roof and raising the car a bit.

My engine ran like a watch but EVERY OTHER Subaru I've ever been near since was louder and many Subbie engines rattled. Remember, the wrong coolant will turn the engine into a leaky mess. I like 'em but I don't. I also appreciate that my intel is small and old.
