Cars are tools - I have had a "crossover", an SUV and a station wagon (called an estate here in the UK), in my case all Audis.
We got the crossover when we stated a family, it felt big and safe (compared to what I had before). However, the boot/trunk was too small for a growing family going on trips.
We upgraded to a large SUV, felt great to drive, big a tall. Masses of space to load up, however hard to park in small spaces (this is the UK), and far too expensive to run.
Now on an estate/station waggon, love it, favourite car I have owned. Cheaper to purchase than equivalent size suv as they are less fashionable, plus cheaper to run, cheaper tires for example. Far more fun to drive than both the others (and anything else I've had). Do not miss the height at all.
I wish they’d bring wagons back to the states. Nobody would buy them, which is why they’re gone, but they’re the most practical type of vehicle. I’ve had to settle with a 4 door pickup (which, arguably may be more practical but wagons look so goood).
