Tell me what you think of the new 2006 WRX? Would you get one or NO?

 
Rep Power: 360

they are a decent car but wow they are ugly

 
Rep Power: 360

idk i dont think its that bad...something you could get use to...


im asking this question about the car b.c my friend told me not to get one...he says they cant handle over 300hp with having problems..im researching this also but just wanted to see what other poeple knew 2.

 
Rep Power: 360

If you want a 300+hp WRX then get an STi. I dont think that the WRX is going to safely handle over 300 either. The engines are strong but the trasmission, axles, etc are probably not going to like having that much power going through them every day.

 
Rep Power: 360

yeah thats the same thing i was told...the thing is, i do not want to spend 30k...not at this time...i just figured i could get a wrx and play with it...thought they were better cars then that.

 
Rep Power: 360

Why not be happy with 200-250 hp at the wheels? That is a lot of hp especially with a half decent all wheel drive system.
I am not trying to talk you out of getting one, but if you do I doubt that you will want to run 300hp from it every day!

 
Rep Power: 360

well i mean, i figured i would do turbo back exhuast, frount mount, stage 3 cams, turn up the boost a lil, get a engine management, intake, up pipe, down pipe.

 
Rep Power: 360

If you have all those mods, and keep it as a daily driver, maybe you would want to look into getting a boost controller and strolling at oem boost levels then if you want to really move you can turn it up to where ever you are tuned for.

 
Rep Power: 360

tru, i got that...im just saying if i got these mods and whatnot, is the car going to be fine or am i going to have to upgrade the axles, and half shafts, etc.

 
Rep Power: 266

I used to hate the looks too, but I went by a dealership last weekend and the car looked amazing in person

 
Rep Power: 277

I dont know why, but I like the new look more, now that I saw some in person. I think it looks better then the previous one.

 
Rep Power: 360

i like then both....this is so dam hard..lol

im trying to get a new car, but im trying to research this like crazy....

im looking at a RSX-S and a WRX both 2006...kinda like the rsx-s b.c its a high reving motor and has alot potential, but i like the WRX b.c it has AWD, already turbod and has nice potential also...

i kinda want something already turbod, less problems in a way...kinda want a 4dr again...

so damit idk...

i mean more or less the rsx-s has no problems what so ever and is a very good car..and you wouldnt have to worry about much with it..


IDK much abou the WRX.

 
Rep Power: 284

4 dr + AWD + stock turbo + looks great = EVO 9.............but thats me and you dont want to go over 30g's and i dont blame you lol





















you can always get a SRT-4

 
Rep Power: 360

hey man! well i am a big fan of the EVO.. my boy has one, but i cant spend that money right now...yes the EVO is a awsome car.. love it...

I just joined clubwrx and i have been tlaking to a couple poeple and they say its fine, no problems. im looking for around 300hp...nothing crazy, and if i want ive done a bit of research already so it coul dbe interesting with this car.

NO SRT-4 for me...i mean they are nice cars, poeple who drive them are *******s. not for me. lol

 
Rep Power: 284

yah i understand the money situation, i was just voicing my love.



oh and the SRT-4 was a joking commnet. im sure you caught on to that. and yes most owners are douche bags

 
Rep Power: 260

i like the 05's better! 06 is ugly

 
Rep Power: 360

lol, no doubt i got love for the EVO 2.


i know you were joking..doushe bags they are.

 
Rep Power: 284

lol............now go buy the WRX!!!!

 
Rep Power: 360

 
Rep Power: 313

I LOVE IT! I would buy one!!!

 
Rep Power: 360

yeah maybe i will be...

 
Rep Power: 274

Subaru are the best manufacture currently, reliability wise.

 
Rep Power: 374

theres a white WRX here with gold advans and a 2" drop and it loooooks SUPER clean.

 
Rep Power: 261

evos suck they dont make it past 60000 miles they suck thats why mitibushi is **** and almost went bankrupt thats my two cents on mitibushi i would get a subaru sti anyday over a evo and sti kills the evos i say go for the sabaru i dont like how the 06's look because of the headlights and tailights but i probably will get used to it

 
Rep Power: 288

yea i would, i saw a 2006 white sti on the road the other day, and it was hot

 
Rep Power: 310

Hell yeah I would get a 2006 WRX. The TR model to be precise. They made so much improvements in 2006. Here are key sellers to the car, the new 2.5 liter engine from the previous 2.0 (the STi has 2.5 liters). Then there's the STi fuel pump and 560cc injectors which are larger than the STi's. The the stronger new braking system and a transmission that is stronger than the old one proven to hold 300hp and 300tq to the wheels. Above that would be a different story lol. Another plus is that it only has 2 cats now located in the downpipe compared to the previous 3. They eliminated one of the cats in the uppipe, which saves you money because now there will be no need to replace the uppipe. All you need is a stage 3, Cobb Accessport, turboback exhaust, an STi TMIC, and an FP18G or 20G turbo and your shy a few hp from 300hp and 300tq to the wheels with the off the shelf tune included in the Accessport. Get the Accessport protuned and there is no doubt you will have exactly or a little over 300hp and 300tq to the wheels. Some 2006 owners have ran their stock WRX's in the track already and have netted mid to high 13's in the 1/4 mile.

 
Rep Power: 287

actually srt-4's arents THAT bad for the price...id rock one...if i could get over its a domestic car, FWD, so dam ugly, stupid kids driving it, cheap interior and exterior, bad handling, and if it wasnt a neon.

 
Rep Power: 338

clubwrx hmm..... I think you may find more info on NASIOC. 300WHP or 300BHP as your goal? WRX is a great buy, but it's a bit more costly to maintain and keep as a car compared to a Civic. And I wouldnt use it as a daily driver either b/c the clutch is heavier as well. For EJ20, 300WHP is easy! IHI VF34, Sti injectors, tune, turboback, youre pretty much done.

 
Rep Power: 360

yeah ive been seeing alot of wrx around...idk maybe b.c im interested in buying a new car and looking at it i see more of them around...kinda makes me want one more and more..lol.

i like the white..red looks nice 2, but i think red is too loud for me.

yeah the poeple from clubwrx.net said the same thing, i could get the cobb stage 2 and it would bring the car up 2 285hp. but i c all these different things you can do from cobb..i could pretty much turn a wrx into a sti with no problem, no that i am going to do that b.c id just buy one but i thought that would be cool for long term...i could just upgrade and become a sti or better...

yeah i wouldnt mind having one...but the thing is exmaple: i went to play gold yesturday and after i was done i went to a quick check to get some cigs and a soda, i see this banged up accord, and then i see this black srt-2 doing about a 100 to catch up to his friend when there is a crap load of poeple out..idk just not cool..as for the interier of that car it can be replaced.lol handling might be able to get a lil better...but id rather start with something that doesnt suck in so many places.

yeah, ill have to become a memeber today! thank you! 300WHP. yeah im trying to reseach and see how the car is, long term wise. maintaining also. as for commuting i only have to drive 7.71 miles to work..so a grand total of 15.42 miles a day..which is sweet..

yeah if this should be the car i get, i have a list of parts i have in mind...some sti parts, and some cobb parts..i would like some lite modded, and still know it will last a long time..

i know when i had my civic turbod it was very nice, but i couldnt get it to work right...and i miss my honda being modded, it sucks being completely stock. but i never went out of the way to race poeple, or anyhting like that...it the chance came to race and it was safe so to say(not alot of poeple) sure why not... but for me its more of having a nice car to drive and know i got the power..would like to track it 2 sometimes.


thanks again!

Btw when i wa son my way home from golf i saw a rsx-s in black and it was stock and it was so nice..

its hard for me, i like the wrx and i like the rsx-s..i wish i could have both..the only thing i can say about the cars is that i know the rsx-s is probably a hell of alot more reiable then the wrx stock for stock. which is a plus..but im sure the suby is good also.

I'd go with the Subaru hands down, but part of that is because I never see them. So if you see them all the time I'd hesitate. As far as first mods with on I think suspension and more aggressive tires should be up on the list before power. Just my .05
