2003 Citron Green C230KMT
i havent had the pleasure of driving a C320 wagon, but i have had a C320 sedan and coupe. both were very nice. 
edit: come to think of it, i did drive one at the C-Spot in 2003 and 2004.

to my surprise, the C320 Wagon is not that slow. it might be a little under power at high end but it sure has some grunt at low end. the ride was firm and very stable at high speed (took it up to 120mph). the seats are comfortable, but lack of lateral support. there are less road noise than my C32 (i guess the less road noise is because of the smaller rims and tires). i can feel that the steering is not as responsive as my own car (because of the AMG tuned suspension on the C32). the last thing is that the braking is on the soft side. I need to apply more pressure for it to stop. over all i think MB made a nice little wagon.
although the Desert Silver/Sand combo is a little odd to me, the C320 Wagon is a great car to drive.
