We have two base 1995 850s, a wagon and a sedan. We also have two 740s, one of each. All four of our drivers prefer the wagons.

I think that the wagons look better because the wagon appears to me to be the first one that was designed. If you take a good look at 850s and 740s, the wagon is not a modified sedan, the sedan looks like a modified wagon!

Ever with the rear seat folded down, you cannot fit a refrigerator in a sedan as you can with a wagon.

Make sure you get a turbo, even though our '90 740 sedan has 228,000 miles, it is still fun to drive.

For some reason, our 850 wagon gets about 1 mpg more than the sedan.
