If you're going to get a crossover, just look at a car. Cars are so much more fun to drive. Crossovers are huge, heavy, have unnecessarily high ground clearance, are pigs on gas, handle like crap, and don't even have that much interior room.
Right now, I keep having to sacrifice the cars I like for what works better as a family car (two kids). If you don't have young kids, get a GTI or something and then you'll be having fun everyday.

You. I like you.
There are a lot of imported Subaru Legacy B4's in western Canada, including many wagons. Can be had for cheap. Great for any type of driving. Maybe you should check one out sometime? The interior material/design quality is a bit lacking as you might expect but the car itself makes up for that ten times over. Very practical. Flies way under the radar. Pretty reliable as well if unmodified.
Found these with a quick search:

SUVs and crossovers really need to go away forever. They serve literally no purpose except to protect you from other people in SUVs. (real terrain vehicles such as land cruisers do not count)
