What's your favorite non-30 wagon?

[napabavarian]

Funny I found this, I'm building an e34 525it 5 speed as we speak, upgrading to highline comfort interior, the car was $750 and the parts car was $500, the other parts car I didn't need in the end was $400, so add some new parts and I'll be at $2000.

[TouringTy]

I can't belive I scrolled throught his whole thread without seeing the best damn sexiest wagon made... the one that lends it's lines to the E30, and the one I sold to purchase my e30 wagon...

Not factory made, but E28 looks pretty damn amazing.

I've had a few wagons, and currently drive a e39 528it sport package'd 5-spd. I think my favorites were the Legacy and the jetta, the jetta just loved to have the snot kicked out of it. It had suspension, chip, flywheel, etc. Subaru was nice, but a bigger car. The 5 series are nice, the e34 is definately more of a tank, but the e39 is more what I want out of a car, sport package, five speed, nicer creature comforts, great gas mileage. Audi was nice too, but some people just don't know what stop signs mean
:

05 Legacy GT 2.5 turbo 5-spd, cloth no sunroof:


02 Jetta wagon 1.8t 5-spd plenty of mods:


01 Audi a4 1.8t 5-spd- totaled :( :


95 e34 525it auto:


And the current e39 528it 5spd:

The way yall are saying it all bmw, mercedes, outback, forester (both are technically SUVs), legacy (wagon no longer sold in America), and volvos are wagons, and every other wagon shaped vehicle is a hatchback.

Yup, not many real wagons on the US market. Its all SUVs and cross overs because no self respecting soccer mom would be caught dead in a real wagon.

ok, this is what had me confused about the subject

Production 2001–2007
Assembly Ōta, Gunma, Japan
Body style(s) 4–door sedan
5–door station wagon
Layout Boxer Front engine / four wheel drive

Simple. They switched from building wagons to hatchbacks. This is also the reason why before 08 you could only have an STI in sedan form in the US and 09+ you can only get an STI in hatchback form.

The 2007 WAGON has a lot more interior space than the 2009 HATCH. End of story.

Just because some people call it a wagon doesn't make it so. Same for the E30 2-doors. Some call it a coupe, some a sedan. A 5 door wagon is technically the name for any hatchback, hatch is the informal name.

Because it's not: the GD is a hatch to everyone outside of scooby-ville, and to most inside it as well.

There are other wagons in the market besides the ones you listed, but the Impreza isn't one.

how is it a stupid question?

Im wondering why the 02-07 is considered a wagon and the 08-present is considered a hatch. They both look the same to me.

The way yall are saying it all bmw, mercedes, outback, forester, legacy, and volvos are wagons, and every other wagon shaped vehicle is a hatchback.

Im clearly aware that the new impreza is a hatch now, but why would the GD body style be considered a wagon and the new one a hatch.

What?


If you can sit in the back seat belted in, facing forward and you can reach back over your head and touch the rear window, congratulations, you're not sitting in a friggin wagon. Now deal with it and stop asking stupid questions.

the way I see it, the Impreza Wagon is called the Forester. The Hatch is the Outback Sport/STI/every Impreza "wagon" ever made.

Subaru Wagons are the Legacy/Outbacks. Longer, much more defined cargo area, and more cohesive styling/bodywork around the rear door (no odd kink).

I don't have an official reason though, that just makes sense to me.

and since you know all about hatches and wagons what makes the gd impreza a wagon and the new one not?

not fighting, just trying to realize what makes a hatch a hatch.

THANK YOU. I was waiting for someone to come back me up.
