1996 Saturn SW2 Station wagon

This was really Carol's choice for a car, and I'd always wanted a station wagon and we certainly didn't want another (Chrysler) minivan.  I'm not really sure what station wagon I would have choosen, but Carol was sold on the whole Saturn concept so I went along.  It is a nice family car - nothing too exciting, but it does the job.

We got the car with the larger engine, the 1.9 liter version, so accelaration is good, certainly better than the minivan. It handles a lot better too :-)

But it proved not to be big enough with three kids across the back seat, and with air bags up front the kids couldn't sit up front, so it had to go, in favor of another minivan.
