I'm not a big fan of wagons. When I see wagons, I think of grocery shopping, lol.

Grocery, lol, now I heard an useful solution why to have this car at all.
Our neighbors had such a wagon exclusively for carrying a dog. Any manufacturer will need much space on the back. It also doesn't make additional space for passengers.
O.K., but maybe someone will tell, why a wagon is useful

wagons yes they're dopey looking but they are useful cars. wagons are utility vehicles just like minivans. nobody buys them to show them off (heaven forbid)  .

| Love wagons |
|
I grew up in wagons and honestly I've been longing for one for some time. Personally I think they are a nice compromise between a car and a truck, plenty of storage but still get a good ride and a little better gas mileage. I'll be moving in about a year and I know it will be a blessing in that application.
+ Extensive cargo space
+ Better gas mileage than a truck
+ Better ride than a truck
+ Lower deck level for easier loading/unloading
+ Better traction due to increased weight (compared to similar sedan)
+ You always know where the rear end of your car is
+ Shocked look on kids faces when your "grocery car" burns the F out of their ricer 
+ Wife loves that she isn't driving a mini-van
+ Fold down rear seats accommodate horizontal exercises
Just a few reasons why I love the wagons

Differences besides the obvious shape, the wagon weighs more- this differs between model years, but at a minimum your talking 80 lbs- not a lot, but some. The wagon does have slightly better weight ratio57.5/42.5 vs 59/41 for the sedan. Track- the sedan track is ~ 20mm wider, not a lot, but enough to make a difference in what parts swap and what don't. But they both have tune up parts.
