Interested that you 'upsized' from the hatch to the wagon, do you feel it makes much difference in real terms?
I likewise chose the wagon to accommodate children (though we're only up to one so far!) and dogs. I spent a long time comparing different models and put a lot of emphasis on their load space. (Mondeo wins, Commodore and Liberty are pretty close, Hyundai i40 is passable and Mazda 6 is a joke. Most SUVs are pathetic.) But lately I've been wondering if cargo space is the be all and end all. Given the liftback gives you a very long load space, it seems it should be just about as good as the wagon in most situations. And since every option currently on the market that might secede my MC is going to come with a reduction in load space (even the MD doesn't have as much room), in the future I'm going to have to learn to do more with less anyway?
