A lot of you guys here have WRXs or know a thing or two about them. I am thinking of possibly getting a WRX Wagon to replace my daily driver Civic hatchback. I do not plan on modding this, I just want 4 doors, AWD, and room to haul shit around like an air compressor or an engine once and awhile. And because it's a WRX I won't feel like a tree hugging lesbian.

What are some issues I should look for with WRX's?

I have heard the manual trannys, when abused, are about as crappy as a DSMs.

How corrosion resistant are they? I haven't ever seen a rusty one lol.

Is there any better or worse model years?

Thanks for your time.
