Formula413 -

I would do a check on the curb weights. If they are the same, then the wagon is probably fine after you remove the roof rack. I think that the rear slope on the ZX5 is such that it would need kamm-back anyway, just like the wagon. I think that a "good slope" for a hatchback would need to be more like a Honda CRX/Insight.
