So this is a canadian model? (options vary between canada, USA, and other
locations) - looking at the subaru canada site, it looks like the TS wagon
is an automatic only, and the RS is a manual only (which is weird) -
depending on what you are going to do with the car, the TS wagon is going to
be much more practical (can carry more stuff, etc.) than the RS sedan.
(this is a completely unbiased opinion from a WRX sportwagon owner )

As far as what to look for in a used TS - as with any other used car, have
it professionally inspected before purchasing, run a carfax report, etc.

drum brakes (ts) vs disc brakes (rs)
ts is scaled down
ts is a wagon
rs is a sedan

only in automatic? They didnt have a single automatic TS or RS when i
was at one of my local dealerships. 5 Speed was the only thing.

maybe it's for the '04's? I was looking at www.subaru.ca - they have a spec
sheet which shows the manual transmission as the only choice on the RS and
the auto on the TS, which is why I said that was weird!
