Should I trade my 96 accord for a wagon?

Band Wagon
I've had a CRX, civic hatch, and several other different makes of cars.
I liked the CRX but brake lines went out, and at the time I didn't have 2 grand to spend on new lines.
Civic hatch was stolen before I owned the CRX. CRX wasn't stolen thanks to the knowledge I picked up on theft prevention, and entirely relocating where I lived.
I LOVED both of the hondas I had.
Atm, I have a 96 honda 4 door Sedan... I think with the nonVTec H22... Not sure.
Anyway, I have this Honda at my disposal and I have been obsessing over these civic wagons for some time now. The look, the rarity, the room, etc.
I've been looking around these forums for a while now, and I was curious about the upkeep on these wagons. Like...
Expensive/hard to find parts?
Frequent breakdowns?
And I'm sure gas mileage is good...
Every now and then - I see one of these wagons. I don't know why, but I drool - quite profusely.
There's nothing about a wagon I don't like.
I looked but couldn't find a crash course on all the common problems with these. So I ask, could I get a few tips or pointers as to the worst scenarios I might encounter with these?
B/c I might have a trade ready if I can get ahold of this lady who owns one :!:

I am on my third wagovan. You can haul anything in a wagovan!
But as far as parts go? Are the more expensive than the rest of Hondas? Or do they share parts?
Like my CRX parts often matched Civic parts. Down to suspension, bushings. axels, etc.
I don't know if you've got other reasons???For sure you can't beat the Wgn's look.That's why Honda used the Wgn. image to design the 1st gen CR-V.Alright guys don't hate me.From a gas mileage & power stand point if I were considering a 4WD .I'd choose the same gen (as your Accord) a Accord Wgn.The 4 down sides would be slightly lower city MPG(less than 5) ,still not as distinctive looking, larger size & can't thread the needle.CR-V's out gas mileage is too low.
