What's your favorite non-30 wagon?

I miss my old 145.

Got 2 Benz 4matic wagons that are great daily drivers. Big safe and good in the snow.



I always liked the M5's, E55/63's and RS6 wagons.

Some of the old AMG Wagons are really cool.

M5 Touring New!

E34 M5 Touring Best of them all.

Not as rare but nice E39 M5 Touring.

All amazing beasts.

This is a fun thread.
I love wagons, and there are some fantastic posts here.
However after reading your thread it sounds like you're on a tight budget.

Because of this i would suggest you narrow down your search to the 1st and 2nd generation Subaru Legacy wagons. The Legacy GT in particular is pretty sick.

I owned a 1991.
It was a solid wagon.
Not once did I have an issue with it.

The outbacks are nice enough but in stock trim (ie: w/o swap) they are sooooo slow.

6-cylinder ones are ok...






... once you add a GT4088R





Note: that engine is in a stock-looking '97 Legacy sedan.

I like my friend's Gen3 Subaru Outback wagon. It has had a full Version 7 STi conversion (2001 JDM STi Impreza EJ207 engine, 6MT, R180 diff customised to fit multi-link rear), as well as alloy front arms, STi steering rack, power steering cooler, front-mount intercooler, Bosch fuel pump, factory tunable 2001 STi ECU, V2 STi RA seats from my old car, STi RSK Legacy 9000rpm cluster, RSK Bilstein struts (w/Whiteline springs), Brembo brakes, de-lifted (remove chassis spacer, change steering knuckle) etc, etc. It's so much fun to drive and quite nice around town...



That's his car in my garage. We're putting a new engine in it after his 2.0 threw a big-end on the track. Something went badly wrong and it cracked the heads around the spark plug bores, scuffed all the bores and trashed the pistons and bearings.

There is a new STi EJ257 2.5L short motor coming, along with CP pistons, LS1 rings, ARP head studs, ARP Race bearings, ported heads, JDM Impreza STi Spec C cams (more lift + duration), parallel fuel rails, catch cans, GT Spec headers, custom up-pipe and a TD06 turbo. Should haul around 240kW @ wheels once we've got it tuned and run-in.

engine bay pics from the company who converted it (AM Auto in Noosa, QLD for any Aussies reading this - go see Al for any fab/custom work! Top guy, great shop!)

no such animal-- but it sure would be cool.

They confirmed they were building an M3 Touring before they had even announced the 'vert or the 4dr!

^ Probably my next DD car. I love them.

I think the c3 chassis 5000 quattro avant would be a good choice, a chip and wastegate spring they can be pretty quick.
