When it comes to cars most automakers, sell more sedans than wagons, or five doors as they call them. With Subaru, however, the opposite is true. Subaru wagons far outsell their sedans on models that have both. There are several reasons for this both in the design of the vehicle and the target audience of Subaru. So, why would you want a wagon when you go looking for a new Subaru in Frankfort?
Storage Space
Subaru mainly markets itself to a younger demographic that enjoys the outdoors. Because of this many of their buyers want the option to carry their gear when they want to go hiking or camping. A wagon will easily allow you to carry more gear and can carry a kayak or canoe much easier as well since the roof is going to be longer.
Even if you are not hauling gear, the extra space is going to allow you to carry more without the added cost of fuel you would have with an SUV.
Better Resale
Wagons are generally predicted to retain more of their value than sedans. This is another reason for the growing popularity of wagons and a good reason to consider a Subaru wagon as your next vehicle.
Style
Many drivers often complain about the generic look of sedans on the market today. It is true that sedans today often have very similar appearances, especially among the same makes. Wagons and hatchbacks, on the other hand, offer a unique styling than their sedan counterparts. In the end, this will come down to personal preference, but the market as a whole has begun accepting hatchbacks more and more.
At the end of the day wagons and hatchbacks are more practical than their sedan counterparts because they offer more storage space. They also allow you to carry longer items with the seats down because of the shape of the vehicle, and you are not limited by the size of the seat opening in the trunk.
