I do most of my trips by bicycle obviously, but for anything requires hauling lots of shit or people I own like a 30 year old station wagon. It seems to be on its way out so I looked for a newer one and they either all suck or seem so clapped out I might aswell try to keep this baby going. Is that really the only options? Like I look at reasonably priced SUV and sure it seats five but the amount of cargo space available I might aswell buy 2 compacts and rip the seats out of one or whatever.

Also bonus questions what the fuck, does nobody use their cars for anything but personal transport and maybe some groceries anymore?

The bmw station wagons they made from the later 90s until about 2012 or so (depending on the model) were fairly bullet proof. With regular maintenance they could go well over 200k miles. Not great fuel economy though.

But you should really just check out the full sized vans. All the brands basically make their own versions of those and they are way better for hauling stuff than almost anything including pickup trucks.
