When it comes down to it, the WRX wagon, sold as Levorg in some markets, is a softer, friendlier, more spacious version of the sedan. It has more space, so carries more of your stuff.

They share identical running gear and engine, with a 205kw/350Nm flat-4 (boxer) turbo, driving all 4 wheels. The Ts models have the much-maligned CVT automatic transmission, but it is this gearless automatic which allows the WRX to have the full suite of Eyesight safety and driver aids.

We took both head-to-head, but did one come out on top?

The short answer is, it depends on the buyer. Yeah, I know, what a fudgy mess of an answer.

Performance is the same for both. Both have fancy adjustable suspension, and the same infotainment system.

The difference comes at the weekend when you start the show-off activities. Those heading to a track, both of you, will want the WRX sedan. God lord, you spend all this dough on a car then stick it on a track where it is not insured. What are you thinking?

For everyone else, the wagon is a better all-rounder. It has a slightly more compliant ride, and more space within its sexy wagon back. Can you tell I’m a wagon lover?

Wagons have had a bum-rap, gaining a rather unattractive “mum’s taxi” moniker. What a load of old dingoes kidneys! The WRX wagon is sexy, and has a huge amount of flexible cargo space. Its big-ol hatch doesn’t swing up quite as far as I’d like. After a whack on the noggin, I loaded a bit of gear into the rear, which also holds a spare tyre. HOORAH

Why a Wagon?

We often get asked by we like wagons so much, and the answer is a simple one: the flexibility of an SUV without the bulk.

There, I’ve said it.

OK, an SUV is going to take you more places, but AWD does not equal off-road ability. Instead, picture yourself in the alpine regions lightly dusted with snow. AWD and snow go hand in glove, but it will also tackle muddy tracks with more grace than you might imagine.

Rocky stuff might be doable, but, yeah nah.

Track Days:

Track days see a huge range of petronalia hurling around bends at warp 9.99, and most will fancy the sportier looking WRX sedan for its bade model manual tranny. A CVT simply can’t cut it on a track, and there is no pretending it can.

Otherwise, the CVT, and its simulated gear ratios do a great job, and is better suited to touring.

Highways:

The WRX wagon’s slightly softer ride is happier on those long straight sections where high-speed touring is king. The cabin is nice and quiet much of the time, but there is no hiding the rumble from down under on our rubbish tarmac surfaces.

Camping:

What gay man in his right mind is going camping. Get a grip!
