- I've had excellent results with my Honda Civic wagon (not 4WD, not a
- Wagovan). Hondas continually amaze me with their ability to absorb
- abuse and still run fine; I have over 160,000 miles on mine, and no
- serious problems (i.e., it has never once quit unexpected on me, or
- required major work to repair a problem).
-
- I understand that Honda has discontinued the Civic wagon in favor of
- the Accord wagon, which I'm sure is an excellent car, but much more
- expensive. I'm certain that you can find a reasonable used Civic
- wagon, however.
