We had a diesel SUV and it was great. Some parking is tight so you might now want to go too big. I didn't see many mini-vans. - Nov 2016
Any would work, though smaller is probably easier as streets can be narrow. - Mar 2014
Compact cars are the most popular. If your car is too big, you might have trouble parking or getting by on narrow roads. - Apr 2013

Polish roads are pretty bad. Roads can be narrow, but delivery trucks and buses use them, so size is not a problem. With a larger car, parking can sometimes be tight -- this is a really old city. At a minimum, all-weather or snow-specific tires are needed for the winter, especially if you want to travel out of Poland, since some neighboring countries require them. - Aug 2011
