Sedans are not very useful IMO.
Stylish but lacks utility.

Amen. Sedans look nice but are pretty useless. Trucks, vans, crossovers, SUVs, wagons, hatchbacks-- all are more useful. Though perhaps the OP already has one of the other form factors?
It's a function of one's needs and what one already owns in their vehicle stable. I only own one vehicle, so it has to be something other than a sedan/coupe.
In 2014 my mother needed a new vehicle because her knees/hips were bad, and she was having a hard time getting in/out of her low-to-the-ground Jetta. I sold it privately for her (got her top dollar since she kept all maintenance records, and it only had 35k miles (5 years old)). Anyway, I took that money and she added $5k to it and she bought a brand new 2014 Jeep Patriot Sport 4x4 small SUV for $17k I think it was.
Sister and BIL needed a car too, but they instead dropped $17k or so on a stupid little Fiat 500 2-door hatchback in late 2014. I had told them "you guys have 3 teenage boys and you're buying a clown car?!?"
We went car camping soon after, and I drove my mom's Jeep. I slept comfortably in the back of the Jeep with the rear seats folded and I was sleeping on an air mattress (legs fully stretched out). While my sister and BIL had to sleep in the front seat of their Fiat 500 with the seats reclined. I offered them the use of the Jeep but they refused. Sleeping is way better when one's legs are straight out. Better for circulation.
I haven't tried, but I am sure I can sleep in the back of the Venue if I had to.
