Ed, this comes down to personal preference. We have had an '02 wagon for 1 year. It's a wonderful car.

Our friends have SAAB wagons and Volvos. I can tell you they aren't repeat buyers and seem a bit anxious to rid themselves of the cars...may be partially due to the dealership service experience.
