I'm a big fan of Volvos, personally. You can probably get a baseline (still pretty nice, but somewhat underpowered) V70 with 20k miles on it for about $20k if you look around a bit. A new V50 is going to be just out of your $24k range, but a demo probably gets down there. While you probably don't have to have the extra space, Id still go for the slightly older V70. They get incredible gas milage with the little engine and they are very comfortable and versitle.
That being said, DC Chef recently made a convincing argument for the Subaru Legacy/Subara Outback on the car board the other week. The Truth About Cars Also likes it. Kind of out of your range brand new and loaded, but again a gently used one could fit the bill.

(The Legacy and Outback are basicly the same, but the Outback has a higher suspension (more like an SUV) and nicer trim.)
