My wife's lease is up later this year and I've been assigned the task of narrowing her search for a new "daily driver". I was wondering what you guys drive (and why?) for daily drivers, particulary the "family" folks out there.

* If you drive any Porsche other than a Cayenne as a "DD" I consider you very lucky and try as I might, my wife doesn't want a 964/993/996 as her "DD", even though her mother-in-law looks at her in scorn wondering "If it was good enough for me, then why not you " *

Here is her current list of criteria:

1) Preferably a manual transmission
2) room for 2 (or more ) car seats
3) ideally room for 6 people (to allow for in-law visits/friends kids etc)
4) No minivans
5) Would like AWD (she got spoiler with her Quattro) but not required.

I'm sure the list will evolve, its just that this is all she's said so far.
