I got an sti sports wagon too,and i wouldn't swap it for a saloon,never never.absolutely love the sports wagon and i had the same frame of mind as most that they ain't that good,until i bought one and now would never change it.And the other thing is when you sitting in it and driving,it don't actually feel like your driving a sports wagon the size of it i mean,they just as responsive in handling and what not..

Judging by some of the cars (7-Series BMW/ S-Class Merc/couple of Jags)that are owned by people who live on the estate (council-flat estate in deepsed Hackney) I don't reckon there's much of a problem getting them....

Wagons all the way - and 4k could get you a nice bugeye. £1k on top of that for mods gets you a decent performing car, and as mentioned above a lot less unwanted attention. With a bit of luck you may find one with the mods done already!

Wagons are the best

especially the classics in Green with Gold wheels !!!

Because the lord says so !!!

early bugeye wagon would be a bargain if you can find one as they are very rare
