definately, definately, MOST definately the subaru
then the del sol (vtec, not si or s)

the WRX looks like a pretty good deal...just those painted headlights are sorta buggin me...In any case, it's an Impreza...so definitely go with that...Although a Fifth Gen Lude isn;t a bad idea either ;)

Get Subaru the WRX it a great car.

Civic SI and Del Sol are underpowered.

I'll give another vote for the WRX. Just watch out for those brittle axles. I haven't a clue why you'd make an AWD turbo car with shitty drivetrain parts. But maybe they've fixed that.

actually i believe they recalled their drivetrain problem. not interly sure.

but get the WRX or a Del Sol. i want a Del Sol. anyone selling close to me? ill sell you my lude.....

AkimboStylee 09-14-2004 12:44 PM

i went to go look at the wrx, and i looked at it, and i asked to see the title, sure enough it is a Subaru Impreza WRX STI, and the headlights are edm projectors. i took it for a test drive and OMFG i want the car so bad!!!!

that is why they are selling the car. the dealers son bought the car and shattered the axle, well they got it fixed, and his son bought an srt-4, also 19k is not bad at all!

if its new it should be good to go. just dont drive it that ruff.

JDMFantasy2k 09-14-2004 03:43 PM

yep, def the wrx. A friend of mine has one and lets me drive it all the time, and it handles anything i can throw at it. Everything about them is perfect.

oh and the drivetrain rumors, are just rumors. My friend talked to a subaru dealer who owns a highly modded sti, and he said as long as the car is relativley stock and isn't pushing insane ammounts of hosepower, that you don't have to worry about the axles/drivetrain, as i used to believe the same rumors.

And i've dumped it at 6k rpm and it's still fine so i wouldn't go freaking out about it.

oh and if not the wrx, then i'd suggest the civic si, i know they're not that great, but i think they're cool.

get a 2001 Impreza Rs 2.5:yes:

JDMFantasy2k 09-14-2004 06:56 PM

:pukey


don't be a bitch, take out a loan, get the real deal. Trust me it's worth it.

You should've stopped right there man. Lol. That's a second hand account of a guy who is paid by Subaru. This was actually covered in one of my classes on how companies take care of well known problems. Trust me, they're not rumors. But they've probably been fixed by now.

Grip72 09-14-2004 10:51 PM

lude or wrx.....del sols are SO small....and kinda girly :confused:

IALuder 09-15-2004 06:50 AM

del sol with H23 turbo or GSR Turbo swap......not girly anymore.

yeah i wouldn't doubt if it were true, but i haven't seen or heard of any problems lately. Last thing we need is for subaru to turn into mitsubishi:o
