In general, I agree.......
Long/low/heavy/long wheelbase are good traits.
Thus I bought a 1998 Legacy GT wagon new....
Biggest thing I towed with that car....ASK-21 (Cobra trailer?) a couple hundred miles at speed.....fine until I was cut off among semis on a major highway....

Look back in the '60's....9 passenger wagons (4000lbs or so) at high speed......heavy, long wheelbase, lots a torque....
