Well just as the title says. I just wanted to say, I think I'm going to trade/sell my 2000 ZX3 and get a 2007 SES wagon. Going tomorrow to have a look at it.
Just a quick question. I made a new topic on "For Sale" this afternoon to see if anyone was interested in the ZX3 but it never posted. Its their a wait time or something?
The wagon is for the wife, but it will be the family vehicle for trips.

Well I did it. Picked up a silver 2007 SES wagon. I like the size of the trunk. With the hatches the stroller would be the trunk. Won't be much moding for it as it is for the wife. I made a special CD for the ride home and when we left the dealer, Holiday Road on right away. I finally have my wagon. When I bought the 2007 ZX5 I was looking for a wagon with a stick in liquid grey but as it was August 2007 when I bought the wagons were pretty much gone. Now I can't wait for sumer for the family trips.

"I use mine to tow"
This is why I bit the bullet. A friend of mine has a freestyle and his wife drives it, all in town of course, and his fuel average is 18L/100k. This pushed me away from a freestyle/taurus X. All I have to tow will be camping and cottage supplies in a 4X6 trailer.

We have a 2006 ZXW SE. Tons of trunk space. It's a shame there arent many wagons anymore thanks to the American's rejection of wagons, not to mention manual trans.

If I new Ford was going to sell a wagon for the 2012 model then I would have waited. I like the idea of the Cmax but it's still not a car.
So I thought about it, did the math to see what I would be spending on having 2 children in daycare (wife's on mat leave until July), it would cost about 2.5-3X more to get a Cmax when it comes out, maybe next year, than what I paid for the wagon. So have a $30,000 car payment plus a $13,000/year daycare. It just doesn't work.
I would really like to have a nice family car and a 3rd vehicle, being a track car for myself but family expenses just don't work out that way right now.

I hear you, forget about that. I have a 3 y/o kid, and another on the way next month. Paid almost $14,000 in daycare last year. Crazy that our own prov. govt. doesnt pay for this, on top of all the costs with raising a kid and income loss, it's nuts.
Cant splurge on nice family car.. but the ZXW wagon does the job just fine!
