Nice choice , Personally after reading your posts the sportswagon was always going to be the right car for you . I sure it will serve you well .
Its a shame ford did not have a car to fit your needs .
Hang on 2010 what were you thinking unproven car unproven motor, that wagon you test drove is not the one you bought. Not only that i would struggle to wait a week for a new car no chance of waiting 6months plus .
Good luck sarah please drop back on here and tell us how the new wagon is when it arrives.

I have to say that it is a good choice too.
I want an 8, so am looking to the Holden myself... Not sure what spec yet.

It is a pity that Ford will not learn from this...

I hope you're not disappointed by the lack of space and the lack of grunt. I've also heard about the electrical gremlins. Hope yours serves you well.

For me, the Terry would have got the nod, no worries at all.

Having said that though, I'm glad you've made a choice you're happy with.
