Can you recommend a reliable, safe and economical vehicle for a regular 45-mile drive?

For medical reasons I have to drive my wife to hospital three times a week, each time a round trip of about 45 miles. I need a vehicle, preferably used, that is comfortable, dependable and safe in all weathers and, if possible, economical. I would be very pleased to have your recommendations.
