couldn't afford a wrx when i was car shopping so I went with the next best turbine engine imo. Plus, I'm happy as hell with my MSP but I'm sure I'll be looking the way of subaru in 3 years...

I'm exactly in the same boat as you, but like I said, for me, it's sti or nothing.
 
go to the Subaru website and you can get pics and a 360 view of the interior. I must say, I am impressed, but it sure doesn't beat the stock headunit available with the MSP. People still don't believe me that it came with the car, brand new.

Im a huge fan of the evo cuz of the handeling and the WRX is good but didnt really show in the top gear results.
Well considering the suspension in the WRX are actually rally suspension along with their geometry I would say the Evo is suppose to have better handling than WRX. Plus the rally version of the evo doesn't have the same suspension like the one that is on the street. WRX is a true rally car.

But anyway, jersey you ready to give up the adjustable head rest??? Good car though, but u know u'r helping GM out. hehe

I like it (shrug). I think it's good for people like me who like to listen to music but probably wouldn't have upgraded a stock system to do lack of money/interest. I'm definitely glad the msp came with it.

For all looking to switch to a SCOOBY heed these words- You can get a WRX or even an STI at invoice!, no haggling required. Just join one of several clubs, and six months later, your in as a VIP buyer. To get it even cheaper, use the chase subaru card (3% towards sub and sub parts and acc). I already have 300.00 in subaru bucks.

Now that's cool, and it applies to the STi!

Good luck Jersey... as one already said, you're one of the last people on this thread that I thought would sell their car.

I don't really like the wrx, unless it's the Sti package. Think it's an ugly car (the sti compensates with it's performance). To each his own though...

MSP Rules!!!!
WRX Druels!

my fav' sleeper of all time has to be the FXT (Forester XT) 13.8 1/4 bone stock. I test drove one about a month ago, it is just silly fast. 2nd gear hits so hard that you think the tranny is gonna fall out.
 
dido

Steering wheel still looks like crap. Dash still looks cheap for something that $$$ . Much better then the 2004 though.

Don't get me wrong. If I could have a sti, I would. The legacy is nice too this year.


I really like the new Titanium Grey....ahem, I mean Crsytal grey metallic or whatever their calling it.


anyways, good luck with it man, stick around!

I'm already getting one for below invoice before haggling, I should be able to get it down even farther as I play the game.
