Wagon vs. Sedan 200

Hi All,

quick update, I bought an '83 DL sedan and started working on it. Wife saw it and won't allow it at the house, so she went & bought an '85 DL wagon. Now I have to sell the sedan, but it's a good problem to have, no?

I just drove the sedan again to confirm, and the sedan feels a LOT more powerful than the wagon...I know there's a difference in the engine (B23 vs B230) but is the weight difference significant enough between a wagon & a sedan to account for a noticable difference in performance?

I'm also wondering if maybe the difference in miles could account for it? The wagon's got 211K but the sedan's only got about 150K.

Anybody out there notice this difference? Or maybe the wagon's got some problems I'm not aware of...

Thanks for your responses!

Young
