I do wish there were more station wagons out there. For me, the format is perfect. It's not a mini-van, so no high CG or boxy appearance. It's not a sedan, so it has teh trunk space I want, but is still 'a car'. And most came with a roof-rack / rails.. Sadly, the only ones are now made by BMW, Mazda (rare) and the Ford focus. I have a focus wagon.. We call it the "POS Ford". And that's sad, as this is my 2nd one. The first one, loved it, and it too was a standard. Great car, great size, great format. Too bad they let it go and become a POS!! (Won't buy a 3rd; this one has had 2 alternators, a new battery, faulty wiring, lost a wheel well liner, lost all the heat shields, had the ignition key redone, the paint is peeling all over, and the auto locks; the rear passenger door never locks.. It's loud & bouncy.. The car is only 9 years old, and has just under 100,000 kms on it.. Sad, really..)
