Nice ride, now you can blend in



I have had a couple of Subies, good cars, but other than being fast there isn't much else.

I'm looking at doing a similar trade soon. I'm looking into the older audi S4's with the bi-turbo engines... those are a lot of fun as well.
yeah it's a downgrade in terms of looks/interior i guess... haha

HAHA it's definitely not as unique as the 8.. but i had a good run with the 8. 2 years is long enough

Depending how this year turns out, I may end up with a 2009 or 2010 WRX. The upgraded turbo makes a big difference and it would make a great fun family car. I'd still keep the 8 of course

be careful with that recirc bov it can cause after fire in the turbo. well thats what i heard. idk if its the same about the models before 08 but i want one but im afraid lol. i got mine for real cheap with 2,000 miles on it. it was a subaru demo car. that fmic is super expensive lol. i wanna get the spt exhaust it sounds beautiful
