mikewrxturbo Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hi I am buying a Wrx wagon next week and just wondered what you all think of the handling on the wagons ? I have had 4 scoobys before but only the saloons. The wagon I am getting ata Great price or I would hold out for the saloon again. Thanks guys.

BoozyDave Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I've never had a wagon, so i can only state other opinions. '555wagon' says his handled well and then he fitted uprated 'whiteline' goodies (PM him for more details) and it was transformed into a different beast if you want a wagon, get one. improvements can be made to get it to handle how you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Can't comment on the handling as I've never owned a saloon, but I can say they sound better because you can hear the exhaust through the boot... Fold down the seats for an ever better sound!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I've had both (2 saloons and 2 wagons. ) I added rear strut braces on the wagons and whiteline rear arbs and it holds the road like glue. !! My saloon handled well too My mate swears the wagon handles better as it's more rigid over the rear wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I was messing about with my mates sti that's on tein coils and 360 bhp ! He was shocked how fast I went round the bends with my wagon with less power , not on coilovers and not as good tyres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikewrxturbo Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm waiting on some pics of it off the guy and I'll post some up if I can work it out lol. its completely standard at the moment but at least it means its probably been less ragged about, its only done 100,000 miles and that's a mixture of kilometers as well so prob around 70-80,000 miles. Its got different alloys but not sure I like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
