I will say, we basically just went through exactly this decision recently. I completely agree on SUV’s and was adamantly against them. Searched high and low for a decent manual Alltrack, probably a good 6 months and just couldn’t find one. It is primarily my wife’s car and we ended up getting a pretty hot deal on a CPO 2018 Tiguan, and I’m really coming around to it. It’s nearly the exact same dimensions, just a touch taller. It’s definitely a bit anemic on power, but it’s an awesome highway cruiser. Visibility really isn’t materially different than the Alltracks we test drove, and fits in the same parking spots. We haven’t had a ton of experience in real nasty weather, but for an automatic on all seasons pretty good in the snow. All that said, if VW brought wagons back I’d still go that way.
