If you are looking at pure wagons and not SUV / Crossover / whatever in a reasonable price range I'd encourage you to look at the BMW knowing you can Dinan it if needed, the Allroad is nice, the Jag is worth driving (but bigger) and the same for the Volvo V90. Based on your 9-3 history (we had those too) if you want something on the smaller side the 2019 V60 will be worth waiting for. The V90 is BIG. So in smaller wagons BMW, Audi, Volvo will all be around $55K nicely equipped.

Thanks. Looking at smaller than 9-3 with some performance, open to used as it's just a (very short) commuter not family car.
Thinking old X1 with Dinan 35i might be a go. Wish Allroad had a proper engine ffs.
