totalled my car today so I need a new ride

I was in a 6 vehicle accident and my car was deemed totalled by my insurer. They are giving me $7500 cash for it which I am putting towards a new car. I was thinking of getting a relatively new (~2010-11) subaru outback and financing the difference.
I was previously driving a 2007 chevrolet aveo and it was ATROCIOUS in the snow. If you drive more than 20mph when there is any snow, you will lose control, it blows all over the road when there is wind, it is super small and uncomfortable, and the transmission will probably blow driving in the mountains. Plus, I had blown a speaker and the airbag light was on.
Anyways, I'm looking at getting a 2010 or 2011 subaru outback. It's good on gas mileage, awesome in the snow, can go up mountains, doesn't break down. Thoughts on this? I really don't want a tank that gets like 15mpg but I really do not want something that will break down so I'm leaning asian.

GET A JEEP CHEROKEE. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
Mine is 17 years old and still hauls ass through the snow. It can make it up a 4,000 foot mountain in the pouring rain. And its also a great around town car. I've had a few crashes in it and it still works great.
I've never looked back. Best truck I have ever owned....period.

No pictures? Who wrecks a car and doesn't get some pics?
But really go for a Volkswagen. Get a stick shift. You will love it.

Subaru is nice. I personally own a Nissan which I love and work at a Hyundai dealership(which are also pretty nice, just not the Accent >_>).

Subarus are great for long drives in the snow. Almost a must have if you live in the Rockys.

if you are not mechanically inclined.. go with a scooby.
if you are willing to fix and tinker with it.. go with a jeep.
if you do go with the scooby route.. make sure the vin number starts with a 'J' that means its made in japan and the chinese parts are minimal.

If you need a practical car that's effective in the snow, you can't go wrong with a Subaru. I'd maybe look at a 3rd/4th gen WRX, though. I've never been fond of the Outback.
Oh, and don't buy a Jeep unless you love fixing, or paying to fix, a terrible vehicle. I would also never set foot in a Hyundai and there are two Nissans I'd drive, neither of which would be practical family cars.

Outbacks are ugly, go with a different model unless you really need that truck space.

It's absolutely not that great. Owning a reliable Jeep is chancing odds that are highly unlikely. Newer year model Jeeps are particularly awful vehicles.
Like most Chrysler products, Jeep is overwhelmingly shitty.
