Default Nice clean blob waggon 64k

Just a heads up for anyone after a nice clean un modded wagon and low miles.
This is not my car or associated with it, just looking for my next estate daily car and stumbled upon it, although it has crossed my mind to get another lol, just a year off the facelift is it's only downfall imo otherwise I'd seriously be thinking on it.
Although a bit too end on price but.....

Interesting. Price is a little chunky though. I'd want it to start with a 4.

Keep umming and aaring wether to buy a wagon for a daily, quick, reliable, practical, but don't want the daily image and will be too noisy for me now for daily. Looked at hawks but the 2.5 is not aspiring

I bought my 05 Wagon last year on 58k for £4500 with full history and PPP.

Mine is a daily and was going to stay standard but it's now 315bhp :/

Easy enough to stick some extra sound deadening in it and with PPP and a Prodrive back box, plenty quick enough and they're pretty quiet... until you give it beans.

You know it makes sense.

I'm thinking more from the outside, motorway driving etc, it's tempting as I know my way round them so not worried on repairs etc, just missing that refinement I'm used to

Quick stage 1 mods, bembos and done

That's why I keep coming back to them, spent 13yrs getting to know them, seems a waste not to use the knowledge.

Just off topic here, but anyone know if the wagons have isofix anchorage point in back? I can't remember if mine did or not and pictures I can see a little sign but can't make it out and the rear bench seems there's no gap.

So if one of you guys could confirm as that will help me decide wether to consider or just throw it out the bag lol

Hmmm, 3 points. 1. I don't like the coilovers that's on, would have preferred stock suspension or something more daily friendly (suppose can be sorted at cost and sell BCs)
2. It's an auto, I'd like the 6 speed if 2.0 TS. (That's a big negative for me)
3. I don't like the rear bumper lip (but easy fix)

Otherwise a REALLY great contender, I'd deffo be interested otherwise.

I'm probably not ready to buy yet till next month when I list current car but I'll certainly pop onto legacy forum to have a look closer to time as I do actually like that, which I'm not really a fan of any other legacy tbh.

No Isofix in my 05 WRX Wagon. It would only be needed for a year or two anyway, so wouldn't let that stop you getting one!

I found Isofix to be more faff than it's worth, if you're swapping car seats between cars it's cheaper just to get an extra car seat than pay the extra for an Isofix. When you have a rear-facing seat it's better to have a base that they click into anyway, so you take the baby out in the seat and wouldn't be swapping the base around, so Isofix doesn't make any difference.

Ive moved onto to a new car seat, cybex which is a isofix and seatbelt one which is in my current audi, its a 4 years upwards one so were out of that baby stage.
You cant have booster seats anymore with new law.
We have a car seat in each car anyway.
So yes that would be a decider for me without a doupt.

You do know that Isofix seats can also be used in cars without Isofix, yeah?

Yes I do, but the extra stability it gives we use it, although can be but won't be safe, mine clicks into isofix and then has seatbelt to go over front of child with or without a cushion type pad.
It's one of the most secure and safest seats out there, I should know as I did my research and payed a hefty sum for it and the quality and safety is Paramount for me. Previous child seat which was a 0-4 maxi cost which was a seatbelt only one.
Don't think I want an Impreza daily anyway as I already have one. So will probably go for something more refined and modern without the look lol, just hard as I've had a wagon before and know the ins and outs of them.
Think I'll probably stick with a German marque
