weight differences between wagon and sedan

[bubaru21]

does anyone know the weight and balance differences between wagon and sedan? im curious to see which might actually handle better. has anyone driven both that could tell me?

Wagons have a more even weight distribution than the sedan (rear hatch area is kinda heavy.

As to actual curb weights, I reference off this site:

generally having an extra 80lbs 3 feet off the ground doesn't lend itself to good handling, but since everyone is trying to unstick the rear a bit more anyway, it doesn't really make much difference. Pick the one you like more, they are too similar to make any real difference.

All I know is, between the sedans I've driven, and the wagons in the same spec, I liked how the wagons rear end stayed planted better.

it problably stuck better becuase of the weight in the back. like a mid engine rearwheel drive car they handle really well for being rearwheel drive basedon the fact they have all the weight on the wheels getting all the power.
