I've almost done the same thing on a couple of different occasions, but then I think 'why am I doing this' and leave. More money per month on a car that isn't much faster and and handles worse than the msp.You've gotta love that boxer engine sound, though, very beautiful. You can feel the extra weight from the awd the wrx has to carry around, and plus awd isn't needed in the south anyway ( probably different in the north). Just keep the msp and mod it some more, I don't think alot of people reach the potential of the fs-de before trading it in on something else (srt-4 comes to mind). I say save your money and get something on a higher level, sti/evo, or whatever else is available in a few years.
