Which ones have easy-to-load trunks? Most of the sedans have deep surface and so hard to reach behind when stroller in. Inconvenient. Need some non suv recommendations for 1 kid and parents. Most of the time will driven one parent and kid only. ---

All the Nissans seem to have the grocery bump. Mazda3 hatch, most wagons, I think (I haven’t been in latest-latest) Hyundai Elantra hatch. The Fords did but they stopped making cars except Mustang and Fusion. The VW wagons (2019 is last year). Subarus: Impreza hatch, Crosstrek, and Outback. ---

I second all Subaru, awesome in all weather conditions big enough for even run behind strollers. I know you say no suv but the Forester drives like a car…not sure what the reason behind no suv…but it’s the best for the money. ---

Poor mpg, pricey, wife is short; with any mid size suv it feels like powerliftgate is must then price is $30k+ and even with hb we would have plenty of room as have 1 kid ---

> [@anon27376261](#): > > I know you say no suv but the Forester drives like a car I see why people say that, but (as a car \> suv guy) I disagree. I drove an Outback (4cyl) then a Forester (top trim) then an Outback (H6) then a Forester (1 trim down) back to back last fall: I get why people love the Forester, I hated the ride height. It’s the same chassis, it’s very nice, but it’s not the same ride. > [@Qbrozen](#): > > Kia Soul Forgot Kia, a couple options there. And if there are any Ford Flex(en) laying around, they look like an SUV but I think it rides more like a car than the Forester. > [@Ursus](#): > > Crosstrek then It it doesn’t feel underpowered to you, yes Also Mini Clubman. ---

I’ve got to argue with you there…I have averaged close to 50mpg on the highway in my wife’s Forester. Pricey maybe but then I guess give out what your budget and miles need is. ---

If your a car guy then stick to what you like. But the Forester drives the closest to a car out of any suv I have ever driven, not to mention the AWD aspect. Most in the class are Dog 💩 aside from the CRV. ---

> [@anon27376261](#): > > If your a car guy then stick to what you like. But the Forester drives the closest to a car out of any suv I have ever driven, not to mention the AWD aspect. It’s a lovely machine, but the difference between the ride in it and an Outback is noticeable. After months chasing non-existent v60s last summer, I ended up with an XC60. I really like it, except when I get in and out of it, and I dislike the ride height. I made my choice: the one and only V60 was on the opposite coast and more than $250/mo more before shipping on the same MSRP. Given that, I love my XC60, the only thing I dislike about it is that it’s an SUV. I’ll drive it to term, but (like I said when I last had an SUV in 2013) this will be my last one. I completely understand OP’s sentiment. Wagon/hackback nerds want what they want. ---

I read the same. But I don’t think any of those Crosstreks with the new engine are on the ground. It really was the only downside to the Crosstrek. ---

Still, 2020 has 152 hp. Most of the Europe would be more than fine with it. ---

> [@Ursus](#): > > Most of the Europe would be more than fine with it. When America gets a Renault Twingo, or a VW Polo (which VW has lied/confirmed three times), I’ll allow that excuse. Speaking of something that works in one market but not another, I haven’t seen a VW Phaeton in years, probably because they only sold 7 of them. There used to be one in the DC area. What a handsome mistake those were. ---

I had a Crosstrek for a rental car for a week a while back. It feels a lot peppier than the 150hp rating would lead you to believe. ---

Even though the outback’s new body is only 1 inch longer than previous, new one looks like stretch limo compared to previos body, strange. @Supakimchee Impreza hb and Crosstrek has same trunk volume by the way, very interesting.
