WRX Test Drive
Wow, this is a nice car! Turbo lag sucks starting off, but by 3500 RPM, it hauls ***.
Braking and handling are pretty good too. Redlined that b!tch through 1st - 5th gear. Fun car, lots of tuning potential, big price tag. $39,000 CND
I will have to custom turbo my civic instead, much cheaper.

ive been thinkin bout getting rid of my Si in light of maybe starting a family...ive been looking into the WRX sedan..nicely equipped I was looking around 28-30k US...I might end up better waiting for the STi

>>Wait for the STi. If I had the money, I'd do it. Either that or the EVO VII:nut:
I test drove one back in August. I wasn't greatly impressed (coming from driving v8's). Plus the fact that the car felt and sounded (the drive train atleast ) like a dog getting raped when I droped the clutch just made me wonder how long the AWD would have lasted.
But yeah, once you get it going its kinda fun

Forget the Sti, from what I understand they have a package for $1000 that'll give you that 50 extra hp and I'm pretty sure there's higher packages too. So if I get a WRX, that's what I plan to do.
forget the Sti???
260+ hp, 6-speed, f&r limited slip, brembo brakes, water sprayed intercooler????
FORGET THE STI !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!
GeT THe fAcTS HeRE!

I wish that I had looked at the wrx when I bought my 00 accord ex-vl. Never liked the accord that much. Anyhow, everytime I see someone driving one, they look over and put off a persona that their sheite don't stink if you know what I mean.
I talked to a salesman and he said by next summer we should start to see the Sti here. I still think paying $36k+taxes for the WRX is not worth it, a potent performer or not. It's a lot of money for what you get!
My friend and I are both going to buy one. He's got more for the down payment and will be ordering it this week. I'll be a few weeks behind him.
The car is really quite friendly between 0 and 3200 rpm but it becomes a "force to be reckoned with" after that. Slap on a boost controller, Tanabe Racing Medallion, Blitz intake and some TEIN Type-HA Coil-overs for starters and BAMMM! ya got yerself a fast car that sounds good, looks good and can get ya around in the winter with no prob's.
Lookin' forward to buyin' it!
