Default I had to do it. *gasp*

I test drove a WRX. I was curious to see what they were all about.
Impressions:
Had some go juice, with the right set of rims/tires and stabilizers, it could get close to handling like the TT. Style: Cruddy cloth interior, pretty cool functional hood scoop, sedan should have never hit the streets...they should have only made it in a two door. Driving: Momo steering wheel was *decent*, but no leather wrapped baby. Short throw shifter: Notchy, rough, flimsy (i felt bend/play in the shifter below the ****, even though it was a short throw). Braking was good, BUT personal preference was to have the brake start sooner than it did, and that's adjustable. Between 1 and 10 on the SquirTTboater Insanely Cool Scale: No more than a 6.

Default The STI and EVO are top 2 on my list when my lease is up 6/04

Want something a bit more practical with the kids and want to continue with something AWD. Doug

Default I hear ya.

Practical is good, but you NEED AWD after you've had it!!!!! I can't go back to FWD...
