Trading my car in for a.....

WRX. I test drove one and feel that their really isn't a car that can compare to it, especially at a price under 25K. I really loved and enjoyed my max while I had it, but since my tranny needs to be replaced, I'm just gonna sell it as is and get a wrx. I mean all wheel drive with the added performance of the turbo is just too good for that price. Anyways I was wondering if any of you have heard anything negative about this car that I should know about before I buy it? My time spent on this forum has been educational, entertaining, and very helpful. Thanks

Good idea, awsome car. I agree, for under 25K, you can't beat it....

OOOOGGGGLLLLYYY,!!!
25K?
You can get a 2002 Maxima for that price. Performance is right near that of a WRX. Why not get the 2002 Altima? Interior isn't bad if it's all black. You won't notice the cheapness that way

hmm

i thought crocidile dundee only did commercials for the subaru outback, cuz it has off road capabilites and rides like a sedan. he even drives one in his latest movie, crocidile dundee in la. haha funny if he does do the WRX commercial.

Get it, you wont regret it; but if you can wait one more year do so and get a lancer EVO 7 or WRX STi. They will be worth the wait.

3-4 years before the body changes ~ this is an estimate I read. There is a chance that the STi version will look different from the regular one but not by much.

Like my sig says, I have 18" Katana concept fives and summitomo htrzII. I also have front and rear sway bars. All of these things are of course for sale.

P.S. I bought the wrx wagon in black. I really miss my my max, but at the same time I REALLY love my new wrx.
