Peter, I had that same dilemma a couple of years ago.When my Ford Taurus wagon died, I was looking for either another wagon, a minivan or a small SUV. I ended up getting a 3006 SuzukiForenza wagon. It may be small, but I can haul a VVVXI, or a VV Credenza, or an Edison C-250. It gets great mileage, 30mpg in town and 37mpg on the highway. It rides very smooth and has a big car feel.

Subaru Forester is my hearty recommendation. Mileage in the high 20s, carlike ride, and extremely durable. Hauls phonos like nobody's business.
