If you want the best available peformance in ALL aspects, get a WRX wagon. Stock, it'll pummel just about anything else on the road in that class/purpose, and it's AWD from the factory. Done and done.
If you want to start with a little less wallet abuse and go gradually... go with a Focus wagon.
It's worth noting that the wagon is the only Focus model that can't use the same suspension kits as the rest of the Focus models... sedan included. Motor and transmission mods are alright and common, though.
A turbo Focus wagon could be cool, but remember, regardless of the setup there WILL be issues.
As much as I love my Focus, should I ever need a wagon... WRX.
