For a sporty affordable family mover I don't think you can go past the Octavia vRS wagon, and for me there are few options if you want a manual trans.

Here are some of the local stats of petrol manual versions that are on NZ roads:

Octavia vRS wagon Mk2 (preface lift): 19

x8 Blue
x7 Black
x4 Silver


Octavia vRS wagon Mk3 (preface lift): 29 (plus at least 1 write-off)

x12 White
x7 Black
x4 Blue
x3 Grey
x2 Red
x1 Silver

There are several MkIII facelift wagons in manual, two on TM at the moment.
