Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 day agois there a proper wagon in that year? I thought it was just the sloped hatchback style still
tbh haven’t paid much attention to them because every one I see looks just ever so slightly too small
I’ll have to find one to look at, tbh I kind of hate Subaru seats, at least all the ones I’ve sat in
No, not in the sense you mean, it’s a 5 door hatch back. The gold standard was always “Can it fit a sheet of plywood?”, and no not a chance.
With the roof rack it can carry whatever ,including the giant tree that fell on it five years ago that makes me not care if I carry anything on it.
If you have the money, buy the all wheel drive Volvo wagon, it’s what I’m looking at next.
I don’t expect anything but a van to be able to carry a full sheet of plywood, but I can do 3x7 inside my car now, and bought a trailer for full sheets
it’s the 8 footers and general length and height of rear hatch that concerns me. even my outback is pretty low, a regular hatchback loses another few inches and that’s too restrictive on the hatch dimensions
I have accepted that I may need to just up my budget and buy a Volvo instead of a beater-adjacent vehicle

Mine’s 5th gen, so it’s bigger than the one he’s got.
Mine’s also stick. 5th gen (2017-2023) is the last gen with the manual. Other than the WRX and the BRZ, all the new ones are auto only.
Also, 155k, still on the OG 5 speed. Had to put new center diff (limited slip component was not limiting slip properly), but otherwise still good. Yes it has gearwhine, it’s had it for 100k miles now.
