If this is an automatic, flush the tranny with Mobil 1 ATF for smoother shifts. Also use 5W30 synthetic in the engine.

A tune up and throttle body cleaning will make a big difference. The PCV system might be a little gunked up by now, so either use AutoRx or replace the oil separator box and vacuum lines.

The wagon weighs about 200lbs more than the sedan, just because of the extra glass. No 'chip' will make up for that. Just leave the tranny switch on S if you have an SEW switch. And "fix" the hot air intake vent :)
