If you're willing to dive into some junkyard cars even if they aren't working well, a few models could end up being top-tier ...
The Volvo V70 is bigger and will accept a good many more cases of beer (or crates of pickled herring) than the Audi A4 Avant.
It's every bit as cool on the skin and beneath it, yet, somehow, this muscle car still gets half the love of the others.
