Lightbulb Wagon and saloon boot sizes

I'd be grateful if a couple of Impreza wagon owners could provide boot measurements - it would certainly be useful for me, and anybody looking at boot sizes with regard to dogs, pushchairs or golf clubs to see if you get any extra space over the equivalent saloon.

For the record, the Impreza saloons measure up as follows:

Classic H48 x W138 x D95cm
New H49 x W138 x D96cm

also:
New Forester: H39 x W136 x D95cm
New Legacy saloon: H48 x W152 x D102cm
New Legacy Tourer: H42 x W137 x D108cm

What I'm missing is Height (up to parcel shelf) x max Width x max depth for both the current shape Impreza wagon and the classic wagon. Your help would be appreciated ...

Sadly the brochure only quotes such useful facts as the "nose weight" (75kg). At best, the measurements may be quoted in litres - useful if you need to carry water, but less so if you have items with fixed dimensions like golf clubs or pushchairs!

It's more like a large hatchback than a proper estate . That said . I get my mountain bike in there (with the seats down and front wheel off) no problem , and our Labradour hasn't complained yet . We also took it to France skiing in January with 2 cases ,2 boot bags ,coats , ice skates a plastic sledge etc etc etc with no problems .

If you want boot space, the leggy wagon will win every time.
