Should I Buy A Station Wagon?
 

Howdy, here's the backstory:

I have a Mercedes C36. My mother owns a Chrysler Town and Country and a New Beetle. I've been trying to sell the C36 for awhile. My mom only drives her New Beetle, but she's starting up a small business where she'll need to drive around small amounts of decorations. So she needs access to a vehicle with moderate cargo space. Also, I need a vehicle that can transport a drumset.

Of course, the most practical solution is to sell the C36 and then I drive the Town and Country for the most part except when my mom needs it. But let's be real: I am not driving a minivan as my main car.

Im thinking that if I am able to sell the C36 and the Town and Country, I buy something like a station wagon... something inbetween.

Is that sound logic? And if so, what're some good station wagons to look into? The only ones that seem to exist are Volvos and Outbacks.

PLUG: Here's my C36 http://www.revscene.net/forums/fs-97...s-t628330.html

mazda3 hatch, impreza/wrx hatch, toyota matrix/vibe
don't know if they will hold a drum kit though

what's the budget? new/used? there are station wagons made by more makes than volvo or subaru. do a search.

VW Golf wagon Clean diesel
Super fuel economy
lots of cargo room
and also pretty sharp

best wagons out their right now are( not in order )

Audi a4/s4 avant
Bmw 325 wagon
volvo V50
VW jetta wagon
Vw passat Wagon
Subie legacy

take it and go

dodge magnum?
kick ass mom? haha

*edit*
lol just reminded me of that dodge commercial,
it can hold an amp, guitar, ladder, surfboard, and 12 2x4's

Wagons are cool as hell. I say go for it!

thanks for the advice.

I'm definitely thinking used. I'm hoping to sell the Merc to recoup money. I guess my budget is however much I can sell the Town and Country for. It's an 04 I think, and it's got the DVD player and the works.

5 series touring, specifically e39.
find one and live the dream

well, no luxury brands.

magnum r/t or srt-8

Do you plan on living at home forever or something?

a4 wagon!

Volvo, get an R for more fun.

Do it! Wagons are look great, are utilitarian, and handle WAAAAAYYYY better than SUV's. My choices would be either be a Subaru Legacy Wagon or an Audi A4 Avant. A6 Avant if I could afford it.

Happy hunting!

why the fuck would he need a SRT 8 :facepalm:

Volvo XC/V70
Passat Wagon

Practical sleepers that will easily handle a drumset (I've tried) both with pretty decent power turbo engines

No interest in Rav4/CRV?

Subaru wagons? :D

I think I know who you are. :D

My suggestion? Volvo wagon. Reliable, comfortable, safe as heck. You can get a 850 T5R wagon and still smoke ricers from the stoplight.

Otherwise, Mazda6 wagon?

EDIT: Oooh, what about a Saab 9-3 SportCombi? It's a pretty unique car.
