Hi Robert, I have a 2002 WRX wagon that I use as a winter/crap weather car. I have put about 30K on it without any trouble. This car is spectacular in the snow with some mild snow tires. It is totally stock except for some aftermarket anti-sway bars and some lowering springs that were on the car when purchased. There is some body rust starting that is really the only disapointing aspect of the car.

This is a fun car to drive...Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert M To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2010 6:47 PM Subject: NMC: Early WRX? Greets! I'm thinking about buying a low-mi '03 WRX wagon. I know there's a lot of Subie/Miata crossovers- anyone have any intel I should think on? Pretty sure the one I'm interested in has the uprated gearbox (wider gears). Anything else I should be aware of? My '98 Legacy is getting to the nickle and dime the owner to death stage...
