I drove my parents 9-5 wagon (f*#k-me red with a champagne pin stripe that matches the alloys) to NYC and back (@ 2-1/2 hours) and was very impressed. Tight handling, good power, and great ride @ all highway speeds; 'stuck like glue at speeds. It's not as agile as their 9000, but is still competent.
Their complaints : blue smoke on every start up (a tech bulletin apparently says that's all right), and uncomfortable seats for shorter people (Mom's @ 5'3" and 95 lb.s). They're leaning toward the A6 for the next wagon.
I liked it. I'd buy one if I had any inkling toward owning a wagon (although the A6 Quattro is pretty slick).
My .02.
