Default New car advice

Hi,
Im looking for some advice on a new car, I currently have a 1996 2.0 Legacy, I have had this car for about 4 years (maybe longer) and loved it to bits, but ... its time for something else, it is burring oil, and each MOT brings a new big bill. I have just started to work for myself and now finding myself doing over £600 a month in petrol... I am limited on price but need to keep the AWD system as its a super system, I also live where we get a lot of ice.
I have been told to look at Audi (for price) or Mitsubishi (as the AWD system is better then scooby), but I love my Subaru ...
The main things I am looking for is a car that has AWD, Space for my tools, and cheaper to run.
Thanks
Rich

Yeah,
My 96 is a non turbo.
I get about 250 miles to a full tank of (£60.00 that's about 45 Litres)
Making it about 25 mpg, Would a new 2.0 non turbo be any better, or would I be best to save for a diesel ?
