Honda CRV, even one with a few miles on the clock...fits all the criteria, dependable as the day is long. You really do not need any type of four wheel drive, unless you have any kind of snow. We drove just fine for years without it. It's a gas sucker. Second choice is a Toyota equivalent ( I just find them a boring drive... not the balance of the Honda...most wouldn't notice). Third..with a great big bullet...the rising Korean Giant Hyundai/Kia...very good quality construction, nice interiors, good value/resale/insurance rates, fantastic warranty....just not quite a Honda yet, but a very good deal.(this is maybe the best choice for the most people...I find them too soft for my taste, but they drive nicely and carry the best content of anyone...air bags electronics, and other such niceties) I get to drive almost everything, because of my job, and see how they are built. For dependable,economical, comfortable, everyday driving chores, I truly feel your best choices can be found in these showrooms. Remember... they are built here...don't fall into the old us vs. them crap. Any way I can help, let me know. Wayne
