RE: looking for a wagon
NA & FWD will be the least expensive to purchase & maintain. Two mechanics told me that and I believe them. The AWD driveshafts go bad and cost $$$ to replace. Turbos, well yes, turbos don't last forever.
If you are on a budget now and later, go NA FWD. If you're not, take your time to get a well-maintained wagon that doesn't have a major service in its near future. (Well, come to think of it, you should do that regardless of what you buy.) Save your money for the driveshaft & turbo. |
