my friend has one, i've driven it also. i think its a great car and very fast! just slightly outa my price range[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
I actually drove the 2001 WRX in sedan and wagon configuration and absolutely loved it!! IMO it is one of the best compact sports cars out there...~170WHP and AWD make for a fun ride. Unfortunately, at the time Subaru was not making any deals and I was a little short on cash. Add to that the fact that my local Honda dealer gave top dollar on my trade, got me a 4.2% APR, made my first payment, required no additional down payment and fully warranted all mods to the car...well, it was a no-brainer to get the Civic.
I am not disappointed, although I feel Honda could have given the car a better engine than a recycled D17...but with a deal like the one I got, whaddaya gonna do?
Yeah i would love to have bought a WRX, but it was a bit out of my price range. I really like them, and with any luck it will be a possiablility for my next car.
My buddy got one and took it up to Cobb Tuning up in Dallas. SH IT!!! he got himself a turbo upgrade, intercoller, chip, exhaust, intake, and it was tuned. After dyno, it was 317 Hp at the wheels!!!! His car is friggin fast, not to mention it is a total sleeper.
I wanted an impreza for like 3 years now, i just couldnt afford the payment what they wanted down, i test drove bothe the wagon and sedan and loved them both. i got the civic cause i wanted a safe reliable car and one that i can do anything too
If your a straw man it's great, but the car is not build for "McDonalds Super Sized Americans"
At 5-11 205 lbs, having those seats mash my mountain biking, hill hiking, $hit kicking cow consuming legs together like I was some svelte 140 lb cigarette smoking man must be Subarus idea of a JOKE, everyone says the seats are the BEST, Bull, I've taken several Industrial Engineering courses, I'm pretty much a cheif demographic. Subaru missed the six sigma boat by about 4 sigma. they need to take a seat lesson from honda or Nissan We're big FATTIES over here, you best design accordingly.
And the lack of a sunroof doesn't help matters either...
Even if the car is a wicked ride.
I'm waiting to see if the guys at mitsubishi dont repeat some of subarus stupider mistakes (read: sports seats OPTIONAL).
It's a tight squeeze but I like the car. I just can't believe it's $35000 CDN, to me, it seems like you're paying too much for it. Also, it doesn't help that people are willing to pay that price. As for reviews, everyone focuses on the perfomance, the build quality however is slightly less than average.
The same goes for me, at $35,000 CAD it is pretty up there in price. Again, everybody focuses on the performance. Sure that's great if you're looking for a track car, but at $35,000 CAD you can get a lot of good cars for about the same price or slightly more: Audi A4 1.8T Quattro, Infiniti G35, Acura TL/CL, Mercedes-Benz C230 Sport Coupe! These aren't bad performing cars, but I'm sure built quality is better, and it feels like a $35,000 car.
