WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT OWNING AND LIVING WITH A 2006 SUBARU WRX WAGON

[@damos_cars]

Can you think of a better value for money performance hatch than this 2006 WRX Wagon??

[@bryanpatrick3070]

I have an 03 but it doesn't have the leather and heated seats and amenities like the 06 but it is still really nice. subaru like you said you really just get alot of car for the money.

[@LawrenceTimme]

The frame less windows are epic. :D I had a 2004 wrx saloon this time last year with 94k miles and it was decent. It didn't have a PPP on it though and I had had an sti before, so I found it a bit disappointing and ended up selling it after 2 months and getting an sti. I think the gearbox and the brakes are much better on the sti. Value for money wise and practically the wrx in this hatch form is better. They are 1/2 the price of the sti and the hatch adds a little more room for loading things in.

[@damos_cars]

I think you're right. I've not driven a non-PPP but this car is stupid quick for me!

[@jony6toes307]

Love the video....pretty much on the money... I have a modified 07 WRX Wagon, and love it.... Keep up the good work, more vlogs please..... All the best from Aussie Land

[@damos_cars]

Cheers! 👍🏻

[@butterflyeffect2411]

07 wrx wagon gang! only seen one other

[@damos_cars]

Rare indeed!

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Love that flat four sound.

[@lucienbridges1810]

Excellent video, very descriptive. I have an 07 wagon

[@damos_cars]

Thank you! Is yours a WRX?

[@rikmarsh3918]

I've had a bug eye for the last 4 years and I love it.

[@damos_cars]

Yeh, they are great cars! Is yours a Wagon too?

[@SMBBM92]

Great video, I'm looking at a 2005 2.0L _"Blob-eye"_ Wagon this week! One point however; WRX means World Rally eXperimental.

[@Ddddeddd]

@Erick Medina all the 5 speeds are

[@HBKfan4lifeRKO]

@Erick Medina hawkeye has the strongest 5 speed

[@rikmarsh3918]

@Erick Medina it's hit and miss with the 5 speed trans I'm pushing 300bhp through my 2000 2.0 bug eye trans had no issues at all so far

[@damos_cars]

I'm kicking myself for this now! What a muppet I am! Did you get the blob eye wagon? If so, how is it??

[@happyraintf]

I got one! Had it for a solid half a year. Lost some of hits killowats through it's 300K km unless the engine was swapped, but i like it. Compared to the sedan, it's a sleeper. It's also really fun and performs just as good. They are in most cases less abused, because young rallyists prefer the sedan much more. The extra space in the back - great. The best part, retractable seats! I love it. Still lots to work on, get fixed and upgrade, but it is getting along. Blobeye, best generation, by the way :]

[@P3t3rPizzarelli]

Do the back seats fold down? And if they do, do they fold down flat and flush with the floor of the boot or do they stick up and create a little ledge

[@damos_cars]

If I remember rightly they do but not completely flat. Its been a while since I've owned this car though.

[@Philip_smith88]

Awesome video bro 👍🏻

[@damos_cars]

Thanks

[@richtwell3531]

Does this only run on Vpower petrol? Or can you use normal 95?

[@damos_cars]

Can’t remember I think 97ron or more

[@lucaleo4786]

I swear volvo was the first to invent the engine going under you in the event of a crash

[@damos_cars]

Ooo yeh maybe

[@davidrogers2902]

I am is the US I have 03 wagon with 220k bought it in 08 with 40k

[@bearbryant6005]

How chassis holding up. See a lot of hi mile cars with new motors with about 30-40k on them?

[@davidrogers2902]

I live in the Midwest so my subie has the typical rear quarter rust

[@TePasasALV]

@@davidrogers2902 you own a Impreza wagon! From 03! Any mods! I recently purchased one.

[@stevethomas760]

@@bearbryant6005 Owned a '02 that I bought new , 208K when it was sold. No chassis issues but I live in Georgia. No serious engine issues while in the 17 years I owned the car. But I didn't modify the car and it wasn't dogged every time it was cranked.

[@damos_cars]

Sounds like these things hold up pretty well.

[@Intergalactic3000]

Hi mate, do you get pulled by the police allot because I was going to buy a wrx saloon but some say it's a police magnet so I decided to go for the estate version. I do long distance driving and this car looks fun compared to my lucida.

[@damos_cars]

Never has a problem with it to be honest. But then I am an old fart now.. lol

[@jayfub]

Hi, mate, love the car, I watch your first video, before buying one, really helpful, I have the exact same model, but I have no roof bars, where did you source yours from, flipping great car, cheers

[@damos_cars]

The roof bars were on when I got the car. I assume they came from the factory. Maybe it was an optional extra on the Wagon but I can't find anything definitive in the brochure. I think adding them on is a bit of a hassle though and would require removal of the headlining.

[@stevethomas760]

Mine came on the from the factory. USA

[@jacobwhite9961]

How bad are the emissions on the 2.0 L version?

[@damos_cars]

They’re ok actually.

[@normannorville1830]

How was the fuel consumption

[@damos_cars]

Can't remember TBH

[@Telemarker74]

Just for your info: WRX World Rally eXperimemtal 👍😉

[@damos_cars]

Yeh, my bad. Think that's been mentioned elsewhere in the comments. I've learned my lesson now that's for sure! :-) Thanks for watching.

[@cupra2Jock.]

What revs at driving 80 - 85mph? In gear 5 please

[@damos_cars]

Not sure as I don’t have the car now

[@rikmarsh3918]

Just below 3 grand in my 2.0 WRX Turbo bugeye which is just on boost

[@damos_cars]

Thanks RIK!

[@CFKingLee]

what sort of mileage do you get out of a full tank?

[@damos_cars]

155mph top speed 0-60 in omg. No idea on the mileage sorry 😐. I don’t worry about mpg

[@skylinecow5135]

I don't do much than 350km I think with my 07

[@stevethomas760]

I really depends on driving habits. I've gotten anywhere from 22-26 MPG.

[@rhystaylor256]

No hate but where is the t in Impreza?

[@damos_cars]

Ah man.... :-D :-D There is no T in it you're right!!

[@ArkArmy90]

How is the reliability compared to a Honda or Toyota ?

[@damos_cars]

Much better

[@pierinovatta1391]

Wow I don't know what you smoking, they definitely not more reliable than a Honda or a Toyota and the wrx gearbox is made of glass hahahaha

[@Dantutz]

Why does it got 4 pedals?

[@damos_cars]

?

[@Dantutz]

11:50

[@damos_cars]

@@Dantutz ejection seat pedal or you can just use it as a footrest. It’s actually just a footrest.

[@kevincockburn7805]

It is called a dead pedal. It is just a foot rest. Only 3 are real pedals, brake, accelerator and clutch.

[@tescooffical7175]

Only thing I don't like about the wrx wagons is the road tax from 2006 onwards £550. Way too much

[@damos_cars]

Yeh, have to say that did contribute to me selling it.

[@mocha-6957]

Is this car good to drift?

[@damos_cars]

Yeeeea

[@0kok514]

Matteo Lauritano no its awd

[@FrankieOnWeedIn420p]

i drift my 2002 you just have to be going 40 mph in second gear and swerve away from the corner then rip the wheel into it and drop the clutch and don’t let off the throttle

[@timsgta]

Drifting is stupid

[@0kok514]

Hawkeyes just look better gray🤷‍♂️

[@damos_cars]

But blue is the only colour to have a Subaru in 😉
