The ultimate wagon.... errr sports tourer or whatever is already on the market. It's called the Magnum and it has a HEMI! The could improve it by adding the NAV system from the Pacifica (perfect placement for a NAV system) and offering a 6 speed manual tranny.

Replying to: deron (Apr 11, 2005 5:23 pm) OK. That does it. Go buy a Suzuki Forenza Wagon. There is your SMART Choice. Forenza is Car and Drivers Best Top 10 Pick. It has won awards 5 years in a Row. It is built by Daewoo, Korea. It used to be called Nubira. Maybe you'll be the NewBuyer (Nubiar) SoSucki has had numerous issues with the car, but they do sell. It was penned by Peninfarina.....then someone dug that one out of the waste bin and said 'here ya go' (Design houses have trash cans too...) You can get a used Nubira Wagon for $2000. I've owned a Ford Focus SE wagon since Feb. '03. It has been the most enjoyable small car I've ever owned. Don't be fool enough to get an '05 though, if you want one, my advice would be to get an '03 ZTW with less tha 20,000 miles for no more than $11,000 and make sure all Maint records are there. The '03 was the deal, after that they started trimming bits and pieces, and the rebates on the '05 only bring it down to the '03 price. (what I paid $17,900 for now costs close to $19,500) The '03 Focus is a HIGHLY RELIABLE small wagon. |

I want choices in midsized wagons with 3 rows of seating! I really only see 2 out there that come close: The new Benz R-class and the Chrysler Pacifica. The Benz is $50K!! And the Chrysler is... well... a Chrysler. I'm not saying its bad, but choices would be nice. Oh, and you can get the Volvo V70 with a 3rd row, but, again, its a bit pricey. I'd love to see Nissan/Toyota/Honda offer a 3 row wagon. I'd even be happier if Mazda added one to the 6. But I'd definitely be happiest with an Accord wagon with jumper seats. And, yes, I know about the Mazda5, but it really is more of a minivan. Besides, my wife thinks its ugly, and i'm disappointed they don't offer leather. By the way, I'm predicting the Benz will fail in our market and they'll respond with "americans just don't want wagons" rather than realizing we don't want a $50K wagon!

Replying to: dialm4speed (Sep 25, 2005 6:38 pm) Don't take it personally, I just bought a Pacifica this weekend, so I'm not exactly trashing Chrysler. I hope it holds up better than I expect and proves my misconceptions wrong. I already know resale on this vehicle is horrible, but we can get out of it in 3 years if we choose. If the wife continues to love it, we'll keep it longer than that.

I wish Honda sold their Accord wagon here. It's sold in many other parts of the world. I own a 2005 Outback Limited (not a turbo)... The Limited apparently means limited in comfort. After 1 year I can't take the uncomfortable driver's seat anymore. The side bolsters are causing hip problems! My coworker just leased a 2006 passat. That is an extremely comfortable car. But VW's are expensive to maintain  The Honda Accord EX is very comfortable and if their wagon was available ... I would have probably chosen that over the Subaru. |
