What's the gearing like in 6th? My version of "high-strung" is something like 4k at 80mph. If it's at, say, 3200 it's relaxed enough for me.
The XT doesn't have a 6th, just the STI and the Legacy B Spec had 6 speeds in this era. I love my XT Outback as a DD for my needs but if I had a long freeway commute every day I'd look at something else. My son just bought a 2016 Golf R CPO with less than 30k in mileage. It's not technically a wagon but the 4 door is close. Available in DSG or 6 speed manual.
