So you want an import wagon? Stagea all the way man. Uhmm, only other wagon i can think of that hasnt been mentioned here, is a wrx wagon? Prehaps one like this? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Subaru-Impreza-2003/SSE-AD-2699247/?Cr=8&sdmvc=1

I know its not really an import, but what about an mazda 3 mps(turbo model)? I guess its not really a wagon though, i reckon your wife might like it though.

2002 toyota mark II? 1jz turbo wagon http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Toyota-Mark-II-2002/SSE-AD-2166537/?Cr=0&sdmvc=1

2001 toyota crown? Same engine as the mark II, things a beauty looks amazing, but its 7k above your limit, thought i might show you though it looks hot. http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Toyota-Crown-2001/AGC-AD-15610923/?Cr=0&sdmvc=1

These are the only wagons i could find that were imports and have not been mentioned yet, thought id show you them to see what your options are.

If it were me, id personally get an commodore ss v8 wagon, or a stagea no doubt.

lol said no one ever.

seriously, ive only ever heard the opposite. 350-400kms a tank on stock/exhaust.

Hey i got a Evo 7 and if i get 300 kays on a tank i'm over the moon! ;)

Still I have got over 450kays per tank on my old WRX and it had Exhaust,tune,bigger turbo and MOAR boost. But really it depends on the amount weight in the right foot.

I think the stagea is looking very good at the moment....

The commodore - I thought about getting the vz - as the ones after that have no boot space at all. But I also have heard that they are also not reliable (especially as they get older).....

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
