Replacing my '02 9-3

The only dealer left within 200 miles has a goofy service department, and the local guy worries that his parts supply is ending, so I'm thinking of replacing it. But I find myself wanting the same basic car: a reasonable amount of "luxury" (leather, power seats, etc.); good economy (I get 31 highway pretty consistently); driving pleasure (it's a real hoot to drive when I want it to be); and versatility (the legendary hatch). And I don't want to go smaller.
Had an Outback CVT as a rental a while back; it fit except for the fun. The A3 is a near match size-wise, but repairs are supposed to be pricey and often. The Jetta Sportwagen lacks the seats. A BMW 3 doesn't quite hit the mileage (and we're back to the upkeep cost). An Acura TSX wagon maybe?
Where would you go for the next car?
