FWIW I cannot fathom how insecure people need to be to not buy a minivan. It is by far, far, far and away the best tool for the job unless you are towing huge numbers. The flexibility is amazing. Anyone I know who reluctantly bought one keeps buying them. 3 kids+, no comparison IMHO. And a 328? No way that holds 3 kids and if it does it'd be a nightmare, as you know, safety seats are ENORMOUS.

Otherwise yeah the E-Class wagon makes the most sense. In my experience though, as much as I hate to say it as I have a 9-3 wagon on the driveway, SUV easier to live with if you have kids.
