What is the best body style and why is it the Station Wagon?

Not even close, its coupe.

Because a sedan can carry 5 or 6 people, but doesn't have room for all the stuff they bring with them.

What would you call this? Why does nobody make a car with this body style anymore?

>>13900340
Because it's roughly the size of the sedan but with much more practicality.

Also you can lay down the rear seats and camp in there as well.

3 door hatch back?
Shitbox?
if its FR it could be a shooting brake

>>13900340
Because they are god tier for road trips. You can bring your buddies and all their shit and still have some leftover room. Unless one of them is a chick because holy fuck chicks take a lot of shit on road trips.

>>13901261
liftback

>>13901261
it might be known as a fastback

I'm going to argue that.
MPV does what a wagon does even better.
Same chassis size, usually same powertrain, taller headroom, upright seating position, better visibility, better safety, more vertical and horizontal space.

Downside is body roll and slightly reduced mileage due to weight and aerodynamics. But I still think compact minivans are super handy, especially if they have a 3rd row seat (but they usually don't). I wish we got the Mitsubishi Expo LRV with the 4g63 like they did in Japan, not tge shit-tier 2.4l 90hp 4g64.

If they're relatively clean (not rusted out) and were well maintained they last forever.

If the PO didn't follow the maintenance recommendations (Oil every 4k or less, trans service and Tbelts every 60k) on time, don't even bother.

Quickest way to tell is pull the oil cap and dipstick, peek inside with a flashlight. If the top of the valve cover is full of sludge and the dipstick has a brown / black varnish on it walk away.

There should also be a placard on the top of the T-belt cover that gives a date and mileage it was last changed at.

there's the CL203 but they're shit and they don't make them anymore

It's station wagon for fucking sure. You can prove it by using the people have no fucking taste index.

RWD? God tier. Not the standard anymore because people have no fucking taste.

Manual transmission? God tier. Barely exist anymore because people have no fucking taste.

Cheap MR cars? God tier. Nobody makes them anymore because people have no fucking taste.

Station Wagon? God tier. Nobody makes them anymore because people have no fucking taste.

There's no sedan that hasn't looked better and been more functional after being wagonized.
