In reply to dculberson:
Such a Unicorn exists: AWD 850, wagon and sedan, manual trans even, pretty much the rarest of the rare in the US.
There were tons of AWD V70s and quite a few AWD S70s too. You've got to get an R if you want a stick. V70R would be the pooh!
As far as caravans go, the AWD system is pretty much bulletproof. They'll get 17-22 depending on how you drive it since the awds came with the bigger motors (3.3/3.8).
What's the deal with daily driver Subarus lately? 
I've always wanted to see someone do a turbo motor swap to one of those AWD Caravans. 
Awd supercharged previa. Über reliable, I think more cargo capacity than my friend's Tahoe, and 4,000 should buy you a mint example. They drive really nice for a van, and as an added bonus, they use a pretty standard offset 5x114.3, so lots of stock alloy take offs fit. Mine currently is rocking 300zx rims I got with decent tires for 200$.

I've been wondering how well the 3.3 responds to boost.

There is one 3.3/604/awd van swapped to 3.0/5spd/awd. Not making any real power yet but a roots blower is planned.
My 2.5turbo/5spd/fwd caravan has an AWD rear axle in it waiting for me to hook my 52hp electric motor to it. The 2.5 is being swapped to 3.0+m90 as well. They will not be directly connected, but it will be AWD.
There is a 2.4L (think srt4)/568/awd omni that runs and drives using the caravan PTO and rear diff.
There is a 3.0 shadow that has made 500+whp going AWD using the van PTO and a gm 10 bolt rear.

I have a t67 and an AEM FIC waiting to go on my 3.3 car. I need to finish the VNT 2.2 on my engine stand so i can throw the extra 3.3 on and mock up the turbo plumbing.
What about a Focus wagon or Saturn wagon? Both available in the price range and with three pedals..
'97 850 awd wagon 5 spd for sale $6500
It's in Canada (barely) and they don't list mileage, but it's even got the rear jump seat and cage.
