Lol

I packed three people and all of our camping gear into my wagon, which has H&R Sport Springs and 17" Prodrives, and drove to Coachella... made me want to put my stock springs back on... that and the strut tower brace didn't help.

worked out fine though... wasn't even any rubbing...

The only downside to wagons is not being able to tuck 245's.

That's the only downside

Talking small stuff

A set of tires is too easy.

Let's see you guys try this (Forester STi Automatic Transmission with 4.11 gearing)

It's the only one in the United States.

If its the only one in the US it'd be pretty difficult to try

There's no denying that there's more room in the wagon than the sedan...27.9-61.6cubes in the wagon, 11.0 in the sedan. And the wagon weighs less than one person's worth more than the sedan, and LESS than the STi! (3,165lbs. wagon, 3,085 sedan, 3,298 STi!). The coefficient of drag is barely higher on the wagon (0.37 wagon, 0.33 sedan). So when it comes down to it, the differences that matter are: -large tire ability on the sedan (but who gets tires that wide anyway?) and -looks. So yes, wagons do own; unless you're vain or need really wide tires. BTW, wide tires are great for dry driving, but they actual hurt wet-weather and snow performance because they 'float' above the water/snow better than narrower ones.

All the #'s are right out of the Impreza brochere from the dealer.

Oh, and the greatest part about that beer is that it's a really good beer, not just a novelty!

Cool My wagon rocks

Last year my friend's 1996 Buick Century got stuck in the drainage ditch next to a dirt road in Vermont while we were partying at my friends cabin.

My wagon rocks. The vehicle of choice to get him out was the BARON MOBILE. We got a couple of shovels, rope and some old carpet for traction.

At first we tried to dig him out and use the carpet for him to drive out of the ditch. Didn't work. So we attached a rope to my back tow ring and to his. I dragged him out of the ditch.

Utility & Power = happy driver.

~Also~

I don't think I get as much people (dumb kids) trying to race me in the wagon as opposed to the sedan.
