I've driven both during product launches, and most recently when my Wagon was having it's 1000 mile blessing. Didn't notice a handling difference, but the wagon has a noticeably softer ride. According to a) the salesperson, 2) the service manager, and iii) SCUSA PR persons, that is a common observation. My theory is the better weight balance allows for a more compliant front springs while maintaining the desired handling properties.
