Default dog-related car questions (again)

Am selling my gas hog Jeep in favor of a newer used car. Please help.
Every time I think I've narrowed my choices, I find something else that
might work. I'm thinking in terms of wagons but would consider small
SUVs like the Honda Element or CRV.

Of great importance is the car's ability to hold permutations of the
following:

dog + weekend luggage
dog + (future) child seat
dog + (future) child seat + weekend luggage
dog + 3 adult passengers
maybe later: 2 dogs plus any of the above
2 adults + assload of home renovation supplies

Cars I think would fit my needs (above + under $20k + reliability + ~
20mpg or above):

Subaru Legacy/Outback
Subaru Forrester
VW Passat wagon
Chrysler PT Cruiser
Volvo V40

Can anyone share personal dog+cargo/child experience with these models?
I'm especially interested to hear about the PT Cruiser, since I'm on the
fence about whether it would be able to hold all I need it to and still
be a comfortable ride for Orson in the way back.

Cars I'm not ready to drive (call it a personal fault):

another mid-size or larger SUV
minivans
large American-made wagons (eg., Taurus)
very new models with unknown reliability

Thanks,
Cate
