  1. Wagons are good. Better than some SUVs I've had. Lower, and more "car-like". The Japanese, etc., and the Aussies made wagons up until "relatively" recently. Sleeping in wagons. Good. Funny, but the '80s Nissan 910 Bluebird wagon was tested by Wheels magazine, along with the IRS sedan. The live-axle wagon handled rather better, in their opinion, and I'd agree. Yes, they were a shitty, rusting, horrid car, but reliable as hell, and super useful. Lasted 480K, until the rust got it. Blew 1 head-gasket, and trashed 1 timing chain. Burned NO oil. VERY unusual for an L20B engine. I still miss it. Dad's Concours wagon got to over 300K miles, after which it was fairly fucked, but it towed boats, and that sad smog-restricted 350 really did well. SUVs look like amorphous blobs. Zero style. Sorry. My opinion only.
