solid quality, substantial feeling, efficient, good handling, wagon or hatchback. Comfortable and safe on long trips. Understated as opposed to techy/tacky.

I enjoy driving and am used to my comfortable, substantially built vw. It would be nice to have a practical, solid and well designed wagon that performs well enough to give confidence to the driver on the road, without worry of expensive reliability issues on long trips. I need four wheel disc brakes, independent suspension, reliable non-turbo engine and bulletproof manual transmission, preferably six speed. Prefer an understated car that delivers a little more than expected and rewards maintenance / respect with worry free ownership for many years. Fair parts prices and straight forward service would be nice but I won't kid myself too much! Cheers.
