I was looking at the original post again and was thinking about the enormous number of miles your wife will be driving. Assuming a 5 day work week, we are talking about 800 miles a week.

How long will a 20 year old CRX put up with that? I guess you could drop a new engine in it every now and then, but, there is another consideration.

Your wife's sanity.

If I had to put 30 hrs or better a week behind the wheel, I'd like it to be a nice place.

Assuming your wife is likely to be in this job for a good stretch, you might want to bite the bullet and look for a lower mileage TDI, which is a reasonably nice highway ride. And a properly maintained turbodiesel will likely hold up better.
