870 Wagons are the BADDEST fucking cars on Earth. No question! The sedan 870s are beast as hell too. Very slightly better handling on each body style depending on your desire for hard corners. The wagons have minimal body lean and excellent rear rigidity, but the sedans have zero body roll with slightly less rear rigidity. I'm torn which is better from a performance stand point.

If I would live in the US, I would indeed swap the automatic transmission for a manual transmission. The pleasure and fun you get from a manual transmission over the automatic transmission is incredible. You can feel the power and the torque from the engine and shift yourself. And I would recommend it even more if you do it on a turbo 850. Sadly, many 850's in America were sold with automatic transmission... Finding a 850 with a manual transmission nowadays in America is just so incredibly rare. Let alone the T5-R and R's! Luckily I'm from the Netherlands and here you can find 'em much easyer so swapping is not needed.

Could you go into greater detail about your perceived differences with the 18/19t stock vs hybrid upgrade? How much better response and where in the powerband? I have a stock 19t from a parts car already- the hybrid rebuild is spendy versus just installing a used turbo. Would the extra $500 be worth it? Also- the hybrid upgrade is a turbo rebuild+ modified billet compressor wheel, is that all? Thanks man! Love the videos.

@RobertDIY

There are at least 3 improvements. Compressor wheel, turbine wheel, and thrust bearing. Less lugging, quicker spool and I was told they should produce about 30% more power. If you are happy with stock you will be good. I was more than happy with my stock 19T. Now I have less lugging and quicker speed at the pedal.
