The V50 is the Volvo of choise if we go with that brand. The missus likes it, but I havent tested it on the road yet.

And I can't imagine anyone wanting guns just to shoot with them. Maybe I could when I was a kid.

Pick yourself up a Octavia RS estate.  Cheaper than a VW or an Audi.

That's pretty good option; Skodas are sharing parts and are using same standards with Volkswagen and Audi but are bit cheaper... I'd rather take fully loaded Octavia than plain vanilla Golf / Jetta.

Subaru Legacy.

4 x 4 would be useful in all that snow.

Also makes Top Gear's car satisfaction survey (takes EVERYTHING into account) http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/survey/top_10.shtml
