We just answered this question a couple weeks ago with an e61 (530i wagon). Plan is to catch up on a few deferred maintenance items and drive the wheels off it. Very pleasant place to spend time. Not a rocket, but comfortable and large inside.

As much as I loathe the sedan version, the wagon variant of that bodystyle looks amazingly mature and civilized.
For something entirely different... JDM Nissan Stagea? The RB26 ones will stretch the budget, but it's the price of awesome.
How in the name of sweet Jesus are we to the second page of a thread about wagons, and nobody has said Volvo?
I've been dailying a 2007 Passat for the best part of ten years now. VR6 for "sufficient" power, 4Motion for go anywhere traction, ginourmous brakes, and enough room to lay down in the back with the second row seats folded if you're 6' tall.

I feel like I even baited everyone with my previous cars in the first post too!
Realisitcally, I think it may because they are getting a bit older, and are difficult to find not beat up. I wouldn't turn one down, but I know, like the VW's, they can be problematic over the long term.
Ky, how has your Passat been maintenence wise? I've been looking at the combo as a good fit, but am a bit leary of all the whizzy bits.
Here's a manual transmission e39 for sale (nmna)

I love an E39 touring as much as the next human, but when did they start scratching that price ceiling?!

The wagon gets rid of a lot of the weird intersecting trunk body lines. Although, tbh, looking at the E60 now, it isn't nearly as bad as I remember. I guess Bimmers getting uglier makes those look handsomer.
