Re #8: A 'station wagon' is probably not a bad match for
  our needs, but doesn't offer better ground clearance
  (useful in winter, on roads that are flooded, being dug up
  or are just plain crap).  My Civic has been great fun to
  drive, but it's way too easy to bottom out, or just clip
  debris.

  Your observation about 4WD makes sense, there's more there
  to go wrong.  In cars and other things I tend to prefer
  simplicity.
