In my opinion, hatchbacks should get a separate category of their own, instead of getting lumped in with wagons. My mental image of a "wagon" is a huge long boat of a vehicle like a Volvo. They're reliable and will get you and your stuff there, but you probably won't enjoy it.
Hatchbacks are cute, sporty, and have zip! They're still reliable and will get you and your stuff there, but you'll get there in style and with loads of fun on the way.
