In 2008 this model got a new softer suspension. I drove it and I
thought it had more body roll than I would like to have. Comfort was
great but handling I am not sure, especially for towing. So my
question is does anyone has any experience with model year 2008?

I also test drove the BMW X3 and I found it overprized for what it is
(same as volvo). The last vehicle I tested was Subaru Outback 3.0. So
far I like it this car the most (the least body roll). Does anyone
have any experience with Outback Turbo.

I am looking for all wheel drive since I live in Northern New England
and snow is here for up to 4 months a year.

I need to get a new vehicle in the next two weeks, so any advice is
much appreciated. I DO NOT want any SUVs.

I'm a big fan of my current car - a 2002 VW Passat Wagon with
4motion drive. It tows my LS8-18 in a Komet Euro Lite trailer at
70mph just fine and gets 24-25mpg when I drive to work.
Unfortunately, the current model is a different animal, so I'm not
sure if the suspension is similar. If you can find a Passat Wagon
Diesel on eBay (currently a few out there) with 4 motion, I'd
certainly consider that.
