Hi,
I'm looking at purchasing a mid sized wagon and have been recommended the Wingroad. Is there any other makes/models similar to this that I should consider? Any pitfalls with this model??
Thanks
Vanessa

Hi Vanessa,
The thing to watch out for with the Wingroad, is the CVT (1-speed) transmission. It has not been the most popular because of its operation, you either love or hate it. So maybe take one for a drive and see how you think, they seem to hold the revs higher than some are comfortable with. They also can sometimes have a shuddering issue, which is usually fixed by a fluid change and additive, but can be costly if more than this or other repairs are needed.
Maybe also look at a Toyota Corolla Fielder or Subaru Legacy.
