thats a tough one. the increased power of the subie looks good on paper but the torque is lower, the other listed features are cool too. the seats in the lancer are brilliant (if they are the same ones i sat in at the auto show) and im assuming there will be software upgrades for power for both too if you want to do that sort of thing. i dunno. thats a tough call. i guess test drive them.

A true performance driver could end up missing the days of the car you felt one with. Lexus Is- sexy styling but slightly numb, awesome reliability and quality, affordable 300hp version, and awd version CTS-V or pontiac G8 are very good performance bargains with carnal power. I think they look very appealing, GM rwd’s are reliable, awesome v8 and 6-speed BMW’s are sophisticated and they have nice creature comforts, great mpg, define “german engineering” much better than vw’s Audi, timing belts? Whales! Best awd system? Good looks ---

After buying a house, the company I work for just about going out of business and doing everything I could to save it, and losing my best friend to cancer…My interest in cars took a back seat. How ironic this was the last thread I started. So this is kind of my reintroduction. Hi, my name is Chris, I live in Lockport and I traded in the Scion for a 2015 WRX Limited 6MT.

The car was about $31k with the limited package and a few other options. Base model is closer to $27k. ---
