Falcon or Commodore station wagons make great family cars with heaps of room in the back for the dog, telescope or holiday luggage. They also comfortably tow a loaded trailer.
We bought two 18 month old '99 Commodore acclaims and we'll probably still have them for another 10 years - chose the acclaim model at the time to get the side airbags. The Falcon with factory fitted gas would be an attractive option if you're doing high mileage. Our petrol fueled Commodores do better than 30 mpg along the highway but are heavy on fuel around town.
It's impotant to test if the seats are comfortable in the car you choose. Back in 2001 when we were shopping the Falcon was not an option for me due to very uncomfortable seats - they had a hollow in the middle of my back.
