I've had my MY99 silver turbo wagon since last feburary (19K miles of sheer pleasure)and I have been cleaning it by hand.
Now that winter's here and I'm too lazy to spend 2 or 3 hours out in the cold, I wondered.....Do turbo wagons (with roof bars) go safely through a normal type car wash and....
A. Come out clean (or as clean as one of those things manages)
B. Does ALL of the car come out the other side (roof spoiler etc)?
C. Do the pressures involved make the window seals leak?
D. Does anyone know a good one to use in the Southampton area?
Cheers

I wouldn't risk a drive-thru car wash (ie. roller brush type) with any Impreza, considering they only put about 2 microns of paint on them. Try and find a hand-wash place nearby, there's quite a few springing up nowadays.

Not sure about whether wagons are ok or not- I'm sure they would tell you if not.
Place on Shirley rd in Southampton for car wash with rollers.
Or if not brave enough- go to place next to NCP carpark in town (next to asda)- they only handwash while you wait.
Lol about the paint comment
