It's easy to follow the leader and do what everyone else does. But life would be boring if we all followed the same patterns and bought the same things our neighbours did.
That's where cars like the Volkswagen Golf Wagon come in. It shuns the idea of needing an SUV if you're a family car buyer, with a practical and clever body, smart interior treatment and interesting technology and features, too.
It comes with a turbo-petrol engine, auto transmission and is 2WD, so if you want to venture off-road you might need something a bit more capable. But for the majority of families looking for a crossover or SUV, the VW Golf Estate (as its known in other markets) could be the right car.
The Golf Wagon has always been a well-kept secret, matching and often exceeding the practicality of many five-seat SUVs like RAV4, CX-5, Outlander, X-Trail, CR-V, Tucson and Sportage.
But does the new Mk8 version live up to that heritage?
It has space on its side and plenty of the latest in-car and safety tech, but it lacks the ride height of its SUV rivals.
Emily Agar spent a week with it and her family found it to be a really intriguing alternative to the SUV crowd. Tell us what you think in the comments below.
