i'd say that the m35's are better designed as a wagon
but no manual conversion (at this stage) made it not an option for me
plus i always wanted a manual c34
c34 - easy to mod, lots of parts, manual available
m35 - more difficult to mod, actual wagon suspension setup (no big strut towers in the back), lots of compartments, 5 speed auto (i think), good strong motor, ugly as all hell
