Sounds like a Legacy GT wagon is the natural upgrade path for you. Pretty much all the fun of the WRX with more room. Forester XT (and Outback XT) are also fast and fun, but aren't in the same handling league as the WRX and Leg GT.
#22535 of 31395 Defending the Forester by ateixeira Oct 14, 2004 (9:19 am)
Hutch wants another Forester, he rarely if ever uses all the power his WRX offers, and remember his WRX is a sedan. He misses the practicality of the Forester! Don't try to talk him out of it, the Forester is the Best Vehicle on the Planet! :o) Got plywood? No problem, I've strapped 5 sheets at one time to my roof rack. Got fencing? Also no problem. Even 6'x8' sections fit on my roof rack, 2 at a time. Double dresser, extra-depth? No problem. Rack. Oversize clothes washer? No problem. Fit even with the box with the hatch closed. The Legacy is, to quote Lucien's earlier remarks about a Passat, "too nice" for jobs like that. Forester is perfect. -juice Replies to this message: volkov (Oct 14, 2004 9:49 am) lark6 (Oct 14, 2004 10:41 am) kens (Oct 14, 2004 12:51 pm) and 1 more... p0926 (Oct 14, 2004 4:18 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 14, 2004 9:19 am) Well, his mistake was buying a WRX sedan instead of the WRX wagon which is actually the greatest car on the planet. I have a roof rack too you know. Very little your Forester can do that Rex can't....except look boring and boxy. BWAHAHA!!!

Replying to: miksmi (Oct 14, 2004 7:27 am) FWIW I $#%ing detest the Yankees with a passion. I didn't feel that way 20 years ago, but IMHO they are the absolute epitome of everything wrong about professional sports today. No soul whatsoever, it's just about buying championships. Very un-Subaru. Nicholas Replies to this message: bigelm (Oct 14, 2004 11:55 am) wrxrallyer (Oct 14, 2004 12:41 pm) rob_m (Oct 14, 2004 12:49 pm) p0926 (Oct 14, 2004 4:08 pm)

Greatest Sports Car on the Planet, I'll grant you that title. Mine is bigger than yours. The Forester could swallow a WRX whole in its cargo area. Almost. -juice

That boring and boxy lets it do something else the WRX can't: escape the attention of Johnny Law. > Ed Replies to this message: kens (Oct 14, 2004 12:51 pm) lark6 (Oct 14, 2004 1:35 pm)

Replying to: volkov (Oct 14, 2004 10:00 am) What the... How the heck can you BUY championships? Bottom line is Yankees have too much heart and when they lost the WS, it hurt but they still came back strong. Unlike other teams that win once and disappear. Don't hate the Yankees because they have 26 championship rings; hate the team you're rooting for for not making it. And if you're referring to George having the money to buy talent, well.. 1- That's nobody's fault (as much as I don't like him, he IS a smart businessman). 2- Buying talent doesn't guarantee you a WS ring. IF it weren't for their souls, they wouldn't be where they're at now! Replies to this message: wrxrallyer (Oct 14, 2004 12:41 pm) rob_m (Oct 14, 2004 12:49 pm)

Replying to: bigelm (Oct 14, 2004 11:55 am) While i dislike the Yankees too, it's the Yankee fans i hate the most!! Hearing them on the radio all day saying "we're this" or "we're that" and disparaging everyone else! First of all, they aren't Yankees, they're fans of the Yankees! And secondly, one should expect winning when one spends twice as much as the next team! Although i did think the 'Who's Your Daddy' chant last night was pretty humorous! Then again, who am i to talk, i'm a Blue Jay fan!! (only one South of the border, i think!) Replies to this message: rob_m (Oct 14, 2004 12:49 pm)
