thinking bout getting a new wrx
Well I have been looking at the new wrxs and I'm stuck on making a decision. They seem like they are reasonably priced. I like the hatch and the sedan. Just looking for some feedback from you guys, I know there are some subi guys on here please chime in!

The 09+'s seem to run really good, mid to low 13's stock.

I've always thought Subes were nice cars/daily drivers. I'd say if you were looking for a race car, other things may be better, obviously.

I'd go for it. They seem pretty stout stock. I'd love to throw the z in the trash and have one

My buddy has an 09 sedan that I drove back from Cleveland last night. It was super nice! Makes me want to actually make payments on something. He said he averages 25mpg with a mix of highway and city driving.

As Mike said the 09+ runs very well. Basically the same turbo as the STI with a different compressor housing, and a slightly different motor.

I would say go for it. Great DD potential. We have kicked around the idea of trading in our LGT for one.

Well I am keeping the Trans Am no matter what. I am driving a 03 lincoln ls right now with only 50k miles on it and would like to get rid of it soon when I can still make a decent amount of money off of it because I do not plan and never had keeping it. I was looking at some new jeep cherokees but changed my mind on that because of bad reviews and I would be paying a shit load of money on gas. I really do not see anything that the wrx can compare with regarding to durability and price. I dont want to get ahead of myself, my next steps would be to sell the LS then start looking for a nice pre-owned 09 (if i can find one). I think i would lean towards a hatch.
