Another vote for an Outback. Unless you are wanting to go the cheap route and buy a used domestic the Outback is the only option I would consider in the $25k range for a newer SUV. My parents regularly achieve 30+ mpg in theirs, and Subarus have great resell value. I agree with the looks of Subarus, but they are so much more practical than most vehicles that it's easy to get over the looks. Subaru also released the Crosstrek. I haven't looked into it much but it seems to be jacked up, beefier Impreza. Might be an option if you don't need a bigger vehicle but still want ground clearance. [/subaru fanboi]
