My main issue with VW is that its a Haldex system so basically its FWD pretty much all of the time. At the time I was looking they had a 6 year/75k warranty and were the only manual wagon that had some oomf (well after a tune from APR).
My beef with Subaru is that they don't offer a WRX wagon, only Impreza and that shit's sloooooooow, it has same specs as my 98 Outback did...
Everything else AWD and wagon only comes in two pedals, and as you already pointed out, is pretty damn expensive. By comparison with the Xterra I get 3 pedals, sufficient power that it doesn't feel like it's struggling to get up to highway speeds, reasonably comfortable ride, enough space for the fam and ability to get throughly nearly any weather NYC and surrounding areas are likely to encounter.
One big problem with wagons in NYC is that they tend to be longer for same amount of space you can get out of a smaller SUV. As a comparison my Xterra is shorter than the Mustang by a couple of inches and is something like 8" shorter than the Outback I had. And the Xterra is actually considered midsize, there are smaller CUVs one can get and still have ample space for the kids in the back.
