Most Wanted Wagon Under $45,000

BMW 5 Series Winner: BMW 5 Series

Behind the wheel of a 5 Series wagon, you can pretend you're ripping along the Autobahn when you're actually on your way to the grocery store. Choose between the inline six in the 525i or the V8 in the 540i and it's time to experience driving at a higher level. You can also equip your BMW with a Sport package, further enhancing its sporting potential with a self-leveling sport-tuned suspension and 17-inch wheels. The 5 Series wagon can hold 32.7 cubic of cargo with the rear seats up. The 5 Series proves that style and substance can come in one package.


Honorable Mention: Audi A6 Avant

The A6 Avant is a worthy runner-up in this class of luxury wagons, particularly if you're looking for a comfortable, luxurious ride. Its cabin is beautifully furnished with Audi-grade trimmings, including gorgeous wood and superior nighttime illumination. The A6 comes with a 220-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. Of course, rain and snow will not deter this car, as it has quattro, Audi's all-wheel-drive system. When it comes to luxury wagons, the A6 is a strong example of style, safety and driving comfort.
