That does look good for an old shape!

Would be worried about 9 keepers though!

The Wagon is far superior to the saloon and driven by the more discerning
and mature enthusiast.

I can fully recommend one !

Hello Forum!

I have an MY04 WRX Wagon. Why did I buy it?

1)I can transport my dog safely in the back.

2)It's not in a Playstation driving game so your average car thief does not know what it is!

3)It doesn't attract attention

4)I can fetch long things from B&Q

5)In the real world it goes just like the saloon, just more practical.

Go quietly and carry a big stick!!!!

I can understand your point about the b&q thing, but size isnt everything. Me and the wife once got a patio set comprising of four chairs,table and parasol in the back of smart car we used to have.

I just got a newage wagon on the weekend having sold my saloon a few weeks earlier. It's just the same to me in terms of ownership and driver experience. Great car that doesn't grab the chav attention.

Love the pics

The wagon is excellent. I have had a few people who aren't sure what it is until they try to leave me behind and find they can't.

If you are after a good car with loads of room they are the best. I love mine. I have to admit I got it as second choice to a saloon but I think it was a lucky choice as it has been so practical but just as much fun to drive.

Go for it!!!

hmm, other things make me wary tho, it has air con and recirc button son dash, yet no air con pump etc in engine bay, i asked him why he said previous owner did all wiring, buttons/piping but never fitted the pump/condesnor, so he does all the niggly hard stuff not the easy bit, hmm ?!?!?





also, why the front upgrade to facelift stuff, front end shunt ?
