I am in the middle of looking for a new car, its going to be used, but I am not really sure what I want to get. I need something big enough for 2 kids to go in the back, preferably 4WD and not an SUV.

I am 99% sure I want an Audi A6 (2005-2006) but in the back of my mind I am worried about costs if something goes wrong with it. This is probably more down to my current car being completely unreliable (the reason behind getting rid of it) than anything else. But, I don't know what else is out there.

Took a look at the A4 Avant, too small in the back, Acura RL, don't like how it looks, Subaru Legacy GT Ltd wagon, wife does not like it, Subaru Outback, wife likes it, I don't, I like the new Passat from the outside, but the center console looks nasty etc.....current car is a 2004 Maxima, I love the car, but it being unreliable has put me off getting another (even though I expect it's just this car is a lemon and not something as a whole).

So is there anything else I should be looking at? or should I quit worrying and get the A6?
