Top 5 FAST WAGONS: Part 3 | ReDriven

MERCH!! - Grab yours here! - bit.ly/3KPWMdG
As alluded to in the title of this video, over the last couple of weeks, we’ve been posting some Top 5 Fast Wagon videos and before you watch this one, Part 3, we’d highly recommend checking out Parts 1 and 2, just so you get a vibe for what the criteria is.
But for those up to date, welcome to Part 3 and yep we are upping the budget to $30,000 to $50,000 Aussie dollars.
---
At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.
Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.
Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.
So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.
We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

As an American, I'm so jealous of the availability of wagons you guys across the pond have.

[@adamdunbar7808]

Yes yes yes. I have been so waiting for this... been using your tips to help others to by the right model.

[@allanmaccaul1465]

Yes...!! Number 1...!!! Evo for life.. I've had one of these...👌

[@Kiwi_Dave]

You can mention it, because it's Awesome!

[@MartinJones123]

Please review a HSV! And congrats for over 40k subscribers! Every time I come onto this channel there is always more and more subs... Keep up the great work!

[@ReDriven]

Thanks so much Martin. - AK

[@Etency]

Maybe if they have extra time. I understand the curiosity for Aussie-exclusive car, but they're not available anywhere else and hence the rest of the world would feel left out. I personally didn't even know a HSV was a car brand... it reminds me of VHS if anything.

[@pastorofmuppets8834]

Maybe they will in the over $200K section!

[@skilgour44]

They don’t realise people actually like to hear about awesome but obscure cars...

[@TwistedDonners]

For this price range I'd consider the 2020 Mazda Atenza or 2017ish VW Passat and possibly the Evo but that one I'm on the fence with.

[@gahanjoughin3089]

Keen to hear your thoughts on 2013ish Audi A6 avant biturbo vs BMW 550 wagon? Love these fast wagon reviews keep up the awesome work 👍.

[@ReDriven]

Oh mate, we can't wait to get our hands on either of these one day. - AK

[@julietaylor2685]

Hmmm, that white Jeep has been in the workshop for quite a few episodes. No surprise I guess 🤣

[@Pucknuckle]

I'm just happy my midlife crisis / dream car got a mention. More than any other car in the world I'd love an Evo 9 MR GT Wagon. Also I'm just gonna go ahead and assume before watching that even though the Stagea was mentioned in list 1, the series 2 Stagea 260RS Autech will be in the next list?

[@jessechatelier5430]

It’s the Golf R dad car for me 👌🏼

[@lethalee]

I kind of like the smaller wagons with the Euros - the RS4 and S4, the C55 AMG Wagon and the new, C43 AMG Wagon (or C63 if you want ALL the horses) vs the S6 and E-class. Just look a little better imo, and yeah you miss out on some horses but lighter weight...? maybe haha.

[@angusnz7910]

Cracking on about B8 S4 Audi, while showing video of C7 A6…boo boo there mate

[@damilolaakanni]

The US got the RS6...for one year, as a sedan. And it was problematic since day one. They get the new RS6 Avant, but it's pretty expensive, and there's the RS7 that has the exact same engine as the RS6.

[@chrisdooley6468]

They’re super expensive like between $100-$125k depending on options here. I’ve always loved the RS6s especially the TT V10 ones but the current ones are too much money for me lol

[@charlie9149]

Proud RS 245 owner, cracking car.

[@dimsoneill]

Me too! Love it.

[@timmytrouble5258]

I know this breaks the rules given its a JDM/AUDM model only but I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on the Levorg GTS/STI. I hear the underdamped rear suspension can be a deal breaker.

[@jamesmoros1274]

For a wagon the most important part is RELIABILITY 😊 and that leaves 1/2 of these cars on the list .. out 🤣

[@TheDaynger]

Of course the CT9W Evo wagon is more elusive, there were only 2850 made if you include the 300 MR versions

[@Etency]

In our region (Northern Europe) Mitsubishi is really rare sight and possibly underrated. I can't even think of the dealer that handles Mitsus off the top of my head. Anyway, could you please please please, do a review of a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo ( +/- Wagon form ) ? I am curious on how safe & sound they are. I also have no idea on the "reliability" reputation of Mitsu or specifically these cars... Are they like Jaguar/Range-Rover or Toyota/Honda or somewhere in between? Cheer Mate!

[@ReDriven]

Stay tuned mate, we might just have a Christmas special episode that you'll love. - AK

[@jerkmajor6476]

you couldn't go wrong with any of these wagons

[@gracecockman3791]

Please do a video on the Suzuki grand vitara !!

[@ReDriven]

It's high on the "to do" list mate. - AK

[@thomastucker82]

How about the Mercedes C43 AMG 3 litre twin turbo V6 all wheel drive

[@shravp769]

Hi mate..just wondering if you could give your thoughts about car prices coming down in near future, considering they are ridiculously high now

[@ReDriven]

It’s a bit of a how long is a piece of string question Shrav, and while we love cars, we’re not qualified to comment or make predictions on the globes financial movements. - AK

[@ratty8139]

Just curious, what about the Subaru Levorg? Is it not fast enough to be on any of these lists?

[@gahanjoughin3089]

Check out part 2 mate, it’s in there 👍

[@lmmedia9694]

Can't wait for my evo wagon to be import legal .

[@dimsoneill]

Glad the Skoda RS245 got a mention because it deserves it. Lancer Evo wagon though......talk about hen's teeth.

[@mr_Taratu]

I don’t know if this falls in the fast wagons category but just out of curiosity where would you put the BMW E39 wagon.

[@sycclical]

e39 wagons are 10/10 if you know how to turn a wrench

[@UzumakiGarage]

Ive owned an evo wagon in Australia since 2014. It was the first one in Oz 400 kw 500hp atw check it out

[@ReDriven]

Can I have it please!? - AK

[@Fight4MyCountry]

CLUBBIE R8 NEEDS TO BE TOP, STOP THIS MADNESS SIR

[@ReDriven]

If only Holden exported it! - AK

[@philanderson2220]

They did to the UK i think ?

[@Fight4MyCountry]

@@philanderson2220 Pretty sure it was just the SS but I could be wrong

[@gav240z]

@@ReDriven why does it matter if it was exported?

[@scottw3789]

If only the B8 Audi S4 wagon had a bit more room in the second row for a 6’3” driver with baby seats in the back I’d be all for it

[@jmsy92]

The US never got the CLA45 Shooting Brake. But like you said it’s only one country.

[@bshwayde]

Late to the party here. I live in the USA and can vouch for the fact that there are hardly any fast wagons here. But it’s not OUR fault as the buyers, it’s the fact that VW/Audi America have shit for product planning. They don’t sell the best stuff here, including wagons. A golf R wagon has never been sold here, and a regular a4 Avant hasn’t been sold here since 2012. I own a b9 a4 allroad which is the best Audi (and only) wagon offered in 2018. We finally got the RS6 Avant this year but it costs as much as a house.

[@maxverstomppen5941]

I’m sorry Adam but as I look at the details a bit too much, I have to say that at 5:29 it’s actually an A6 interior rather than the A4. Also if you’re wondering why the yanks aren’t buying wagons. Well they are, but they are the type of wagons that have sport in the name but are actually less sporty than normal wagons. Also if you make another list with an increased budget, maybe $100k, then I say screw the rules of international availability and chuck the gen f2 clubsport r8 LSA tourer in the list

[@ReDriven]

We pulled the Audi image of an Audi website and specifically out of an Audi B8 S4 folder mate, but our apologies if that’s an A6. Time will tell if the HSV gets a serious mention too! - AK

[@daviddenley3512]

Very nice but very expensive for mere mortals like I am. So, no Point beating around the bush here so that's that.

[@Pretzil43]

Get to the good ones

[@lovacable]

Skoda Superb 206 4×4 wagon.

Came for the cars, stayed for the accent.

It's coming mate. - AK

Thats an s6 not an s4 🤔

[@seandillon3340]

I would buy the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 every time.

Might be coming soon ;) - AK

No forester love?

[@ReDriven]

More of an SUV than a wagon mate. - AK

[@vincearnold7447]

@@ReDriven you're right, but the earlier models 99-2007 were classified as wagons and had the ej25 from the wrx

[@skilgour44]

So one country is worthy of mention? I thought this was meant to be international...

[@wanderschlosser1857]

Guys, nothing against the Mitsubishi performance- and drive-experience-wise. But honestly it really looks extremely crappy in comparison to the German wagons!

[@ReDriven]

It’s objective mate, personally I love the Evo. - AK

[@wanderschlosser1857]

@@ReDriven Yeah that's certainly my personal opinion and nothing more. The Mitsubishi seems to me that after all the impressive engineering was done there was no money left for a well designed car body. But hey you can't fight about taste, can you! It's for sure not a bad car to drive! Anyway, keep up the good work guys, love to see your channel!
