Diesel wagons are the absolute best daily drivers for most people that actually need a car. Great for long distances, great for towing, and the cargo space is amazing, while the balance of sporty handling and comfort is better than an SUV because with more mass and height, you just have to sacrifice comfort to get any sort of sportiness and of course nearly every manfuacturer does, so you end up with a more compromised ride quality.

Of course short distances at cold temperatures are where diesels suck, but I mean, if you only drive short distances in the city, the car might be needed after all.
