Since I’ve had a full size truck now for the past year, we don’t need a full size suv for a second vehicle, truck serves the purpose as family hauler. Soooo, the wife has given me the go-ahead to find something “smaller”, aka more fun as a secondary vehicle for her to occasionally commute with or do a kid sport pickup here and there.
I’m debating between a few but would love thoughts. Ideally something I can steal and enjoy here and there, even if it is just for looks. Must be auto she won’t drive stick, prefer hatch becuz doggo. Leading contenders are; bmw wagon of some sort, golf R, GTI, even alltrack if they’re okay.

I feel like golf R is objectively going to be the best car if the dog fits well enough in the back.
F31 is for sure the coolest but is probably going to come with some annoyances at its age now.

Would these fit the bill? Both are 2018, is that too old? You kind neglected to mention max you want to spend on this, that would help with suggestions.
Audi A4 Allroad? https://www.facebook.com/share/17sGBnXYcz/ 
BMW 328d wagon https://www.facebook.com/share/14HEvBiQLqB/

Golf R trunk imo is useless for dogs. There's no wagons on the market right now that's worth a damn so you are left with SUVs

Biased
Golf R 7 or 7.5. Fun to drive, easy to park. Unlimited modding potential or just leave it alone. Great stereo. Drive modes let you setup a pretty decent wife mode for comfort.
The DSG is actually great in these cars.

How are the BMW diesels? They seem to be the only ones that still offer diesel. A bitch to find someone to work on? And you have to do all the dpf deletes?
How does the golf r ride? Is it bumpy as shit due to race car model?
I've been doing more research into panameras lately and kinda want a late model Gen 1. The 17+ do look nicer and you can get a sport cross but not sure about reliability as they are all turbo then.

Maybe Mercedes C class wagon, of course Mercedes AMG wagon would like a coffee with you (if you're in that $$ range) and the Audi RS6. Audi Allroad is not bad either for the 'common' person.
There is also this ... German LHD import, BMW 535, know nothing about the engine or maintenance but looks good and nice long roof lines - https://www.facebook.com/share/1793S8mHnM/

For my personal use:
F31 is a no - adaptive cruise and lane keep assist were unavailable.
Golf R is not that fun nor comfy, had with Ohlins and PS4S.
Volvo T6 engines have supercharger meltdowns.
Allroad, A5 Sportback, F10 is ok.

None of those are new though, and if you want a F11 then you'll have to import it and deal with localizing it. As much as I am a fan of BMWs, I personally don't think F10/11 are going to be a reliable choice especially since they are all coming to 10 years old now
