WRX Wagon
I just got traded my WRX Wagon in! It was silver too. Maybe I could have made you a deal.
FWIW, my post-ownership take:
1. As a "car guy" I give it points on acceleration, but as a "car snob" I considered it unbalanced and less refined than any true sports car. The fact that the wagon had weight high in back might have been a factor, relative to the coupe/sedan/whatever.
2. Would you believe I switched to a Prius? The WRX was actually my utility car, for travel and mountain biking. Mountain biking is enough of a rush that I can drive a funny little car like the Prius (slowly) and get the 50 mpg. The WRX seemed to get about 22 city and 27 highway (close to EPA).
I kept my other car (a Honda S2000, true sports car) but don't actually drive it that much. My advice to other middle-aged computer folks is ... get the Prius, and a mountain bike.
