... with a new(ish) wagon! It's been a few years now since I quit driving my 1987 Colony Park, but just over a year ago my wife and I bought another wagon-like vehicle called a Mazda5. I'd never heard of it until we went comparing cars online and specified low cost, good fuel economy, and seating for at least six. It's laid out more like a van, and has sliding doors, but I say it's a wagon. Downsides are that it's wrong-wheel drive, doesn't come with a factory roof rack, lacks have the cavernous stowage space I was previously used to, and that the electronic thingies like ABS and traction control take some getting used to. But on the upside, it can seat all my local relatives in relative comfort, my wife likes it (she didn't drive my CP or the two Box LTD sedans I drove after it was parked), it's the best-handling vehicle either of us has owned, and it gets 20mpg pretty much no matter what.
