5 door Sports Wagon = 1600 kg.

2.0 WRX = 1200 kg.

Nose weight = 75 kg.

All slows you down a bit.

I had been led to believe that turbo petrol cars were not the best to be using for towing.

Should be O.K.

More tordue at same r.p.m.

2.0 GX Sportswagon = 184@3600 rpm

2.0 WRX = 292@3600 rpm

Make sure that you idle the engine before stopping that should be the only precaution.

Fortunately it's not going to be towing that everyday! Perhaps a couple of return trips a year to the west coast...

Incidentally, he's about the only person who likes the look of the MY01

Me old man who currently has a 2.5 Quadcam Legacy estate is looking for something a bit smaller but with lively performance. So far he's looked at the Golf V6 4motion (and liked it ) and today we'll test drive both the MY01 WRX and Sport.

But one thing he's wants is to tow his boat - 1100kg or so fully ladened - with it from one side of Scotland to the other, can the new MY01 hack it?

apparently pete lewis tows his caravan with a my00

The MY01 don't look that bad. It's starting to grow on me now. OK the googly eyes don't look that fantastic but if I didn't have a MY00 I'd still by a MY01, after all its still an Impreza turbo with top performance.
