A friend of mine is looking at WRX wagons. He like the extra power and looks of the 2009- models, but while at the dealership, he seemed convinced the 2007 model has way more cargo space. I looked up the rated volumes, and I admit to being surprised that the 07 model is quite a bit bigger behind the rear seats. Geez, you learn something everyday!
So, he's considering the 2007 as he really likes the extra utility. But, was wondering if the 2009- are really improved in terms of reliability/mechanical specs.
I know the 08- models lost the rear LSD, but otherwise, they seem at least as sweet as the 07 model. 265hp is a strong reason to go newer.
Lots of WRX owners around here, opinions appreciated that I could pass on. (I personally like the looks of both, and I'd have a tough time choosing...)
