A Volvo 940. I own a '94 940 Turbo and the front leg room amazed me. I'm 6' and the driver's seat can go so far back I can't reach the pedals!

Lots of room, it's a 4-cylinder so if you're easy on the turbo (if you choose a turbo model) it'll be good on gas, and it was Volvo's flagship car at the time so you know it's comfy and well built.

Don't worry about the mileage too much, I bought my '94 with 150,000 miles on it last summer for $5000 US and it should last another 100k-150k. The engine/transmission/rear-end is the same in the 240, the 740, and the 940 and Volvo got it right that time... 300k+ mile Volvo's are common.
