For that sorta driving...
Lexus ct200h, Chevy volt, bmw 120i (e87), 6th gen subaru liberty 2.5i, 4th gen liberty with the 3.0
Unless you found a cheap s80d5 fwd.. anything volvo is going to be stupid exxy for that sorta commute over the longer term
I can't believe I'm saying this... but diesel craptiva 7..... parts are stupid cheap for them and outside of the motor and trans being Korean truck spec(horrid nvh).... they are good
