WHAT IS BETTER - Wagon Versus Sedan

[Danielzke]

Sedans were way better looking IMO but it all comes down to how you are gonna use it. Gonna go camping and alot of transporting stuff get the wagon.

i have a vr acclaim and i find with my IRS, it hugs the road really well. take a corner reccomended at 90 without lifting my foot from 110.

ok, so i'm pretty new here as i have recently purchased 2 VS commodores, one is a 1995 sedan, one is a 1996 wagon, both have 27x,xxxkms, and both have average paint.
both cars need a small amount of work but i can swap the parts between the 2 to make one registerable car, my question is what am i going to have more fun in, the wagon or the sedan? i'm planning on lowering to super low and i like to do a burnout here and there but also like to drive fast on windy roads, now i'd imagine the sedan would be better but i like the idea of the wagon for sleeping/storage space. let me know the pros and cons of either a wagon or sedan, preferably by someone who has owned both and can compare them. thanks heaps

i think my idea of fast is not suicide. for example my mums mazda 3 can go 80 in a corner i wouldnt like to go more then 60 in my corolla, would a commodore be worse then a mazda3 for handling? i always thought commodores where good for sticking to the road. one of the reasons i baught one over my corolla because i wanted a bit more power and grip. what about if i lowered the commodore on some 19s or something? thanks for your input

I always thought commodore where good road gripping cars.. my idea of fast through winding roads is something i can achieve in my mums mazda 3 but not my corolla.. a commodore should handle as well if not better then a mazda 3 2012 right? also how much slower is a wagon compared to sedan?

wow i would have never guessed a mazda3 would out handle a commodore, makes me reconsider whether a commodore is the right car for me.. i want to do a burnout here and there which is no fun in a mazda 3, but
i also want a car that feels safe at high speeds on the highway (mazda 3 is scary past 140km imo whereas 200 in my mates XR6 feels like nothing)
and i want to be able to corner fairly quick in a predictable car, i don't expect it to handle as well as a stiff silvia but i would expect it to at least be as good as the mazda 3, am i wrong in thinking a commodore is the right car for me? and as for 6 burnouts i love the pissy sound they make, nothing compared to a grunty v8 or straight 6 but still love it

Hey troll..... How does F-off sound?

in the mazda i find around 30km/hr above recommended is safe and i could push it more. i have obviously had the wrong idea about commodores, i'm going to stick with the wagon and just use it as a daily and i won't expect too much from her just a few skids and ill just save for a nice silvia/skyline to have real fun with, unless someone can convince me a commodore really is the right car. are the newer models (vy etc) a bit better on the "boat" side of things?

@TI3VOM i don't understand?

 

[TI3VOM]

Your not very switched on then, are you?

Drive fast on windy roads in Commodore = suicide , regardless of what body shape.

Don't know where you get the idea of Commodores handling bad . I've driven heaps if rentals and my sv6 handles better then all of them . Driving at 120 feels the same as doing 80. But I guess if your suspension is sloppy and you have bad tyres then that could be your issue

Sorry mate but there is a bloody huge difference between your sv6 and a vs commy...they are just boats, end of story

Fair enough didn't realize this was about a vs my bad

Wouldnt the sedan handle a little better than the wagon? Considering the wagon is LWB and the sedan is SWB?
