Question! I decided to stop fighting the trends and get a compact SUV as a next car. Thing is, literally every car maker makes one it's really hard to find a comprehensive test for the class.

So you got married and she got the balls.
I've tried just about all of them that is available on the European market with a diesel engine, and I gotta say that the Mazda CX5 is the best out of all of them

They are all overpriced bloated hatchbacks with no substantial "core". If you have the money, go for macan. If not, dont bother with mediocrity of average super popular soccer mom mid weight suv. Get something fighter and cheaper

Get a wagon faggot. Crossovers offer no advantages over wagons. Interior space is about same and they have worse fuel economy due to increased mass and frontal area due to being higher, which also negatively affects handling. If you need to go off road, get a proper off roading SUV.
If it has to be a shitcunt crossover, go for the latest, lowest mileage Series 3 Forester XT. The S4 XT was auto only.
If economy is your goal out of your shitcunt crossover, go for a diesel Forester.

Don't buy something just because you want to be more mainstream, ever

>X6
>compact crossover
>>15166646
It's an X5 that got put into a compacter
Don't do it OP. Crossovers are for women who can't drive for shit.
Big crossovers are comfy as fuck, luxorius and sturdy. Small ones can be decent fun. You mentioned the absolute bottom of the barrel midrange snoozefests. Don't do it
