I am so happy, I sold my 240 and bought a black (blueish at night) wrx! Man I can skid through all kinds of corners! The break-in period is going to kill me! The options I got are:

Spoiler
Tinted Windows
Upgraded system w/ sub
Air filter for vents

The car is awesome! Ill post pics tomorrow.

congrats!

I have to pass along this quote found in a guy's signature on another board. &nbsp;It is from his gf after he sold his ITR for a WRX: &nbsp;"It's like you traded a beautiful three year old child for an ugly newborn!"

Have fun &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Sounds great that you can enjoy a Wrx. My bro-inlaw just got one w/ the boost gauge on the steering column, spoiler, upgrades suspension, air intake, debri skid plate...All from the factory not too shabby...And last week we slapped a B.o.V and catback exhaust.....Next is his boost controller and other toys.......damn nice car he got a deal w/ the local dealership and got it for $22k......If I told you the whole story you'd be surprised. I think me and my wife are going for one later this year.

That's what it would be with an ITR. &nbsp;With a 240sx it would be like trading a beautiful 18 year old virgin with a rock hard body, long swooping s curves and legs that go all the way up to heaven (enter Jennifer Garner) for Ricky Lake.

I guess I got a bit carried away, but you get the idea.

Congrats on the WR-X. &nbsp;I was going to get one prior to buying my 240 but I couldn't get the deal I wanted (this was when they FIRST came out) and I still can't warm up to the styling. &nbsp;The drive I took in one of them was a hell of a lot of fun..

Well congrats... but honestly... how could you trade in yer 240 for that car? Yeah, it got twin turbo (have a laugh <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>), awd, and it's freakin fast... But hey, the looks of wrx aren't even close to the 240 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> And I think it's uncomfortable.. I was at the auto show this december, and didn't really fit into any of the subarus... they were all crunched up for me ( well im 6'0'' )... Actually the only cars i liked there were lexus and BMW.... but hey those are freakin expensive <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

P.S. Sorry for picking on the wrx. It's a great ride. Congrats. It's just that i love my 240 too much <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Haha! Twin turbo! Haha! Are you serious?



And just for the record, lots of people who are taller than 6' buy Subarus. You must be really fat...

Just being nitpicky.... twin turbo???


Anyways, that's too bad... if you held out... might've been able to get a 2004 "Silvia" or whatever they'll call it.....

In any case, I'm saving pennies for that G35c <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp; screw an underpowered turbocharged sedan that looks like offspring from a &nbsp;neon that humped a matrix and called it its bitch..... &nbsp;275+hp RWD coupe is where it's at.

LOL! &nbsp;Yeah, I'm 6'2", 220lbs and I fit in fine. &nbsp;Ironically the 240 has less interior room than the WR-X....

And the WR-X obviously is a single turbo on a 2.0 4 cyl boxer engine. &nbsp;That would be awesome though if it were TT.

Ha. And everybody happily buys it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Isn't it great to make everyones day brighter? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> Doh, 227hp would be a bit too small for the TT setup... So yeah, i threw that one in on purpose <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

As for the fat issues.... not really i'm 6'0 and i weigh 180lbs... So you can't call me exactly fat... It just sorta was uncomfortable in there for me. Less comfotable than it is in 240. As for interior.... oh well. I don't like the exterior and that makes it for me.

(Yes, i did throw that one in on purpose. Wondered how many would notice and bitch about it...)

nice recovery attempt Kreator.... we believe you......

I'd think the money could have been better spent on a swapped or turbo'ed 240sx.... but to each his own.

Doh... well
In honesty, for the full story... I'm not into WRXs. I knew it has 227 hp, and a single turbo. But about a month ago, we bought a car for my friend and the guy who was selling it, wanted to buy a new WRX. So he was excited and told me about that, and threw in that it was a TT. I thought well, he must've done a research on it and knew for sure, not that i cared at that moment... So i was posting, and typed that up... But then the wondering came over me, 227 with a TT? So I went to check on it. But while i was checking it out somehting distracted me and i forgot where the fuck i was going. And ofcourse I posted it the way it was. Doh

Fine, flame me for my stupid mistake... if it makes you feel better, go right at it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

it's actually very possible to only get 227hp from a twin turbo setup..... running very small turbos <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

yeah.... every chance i get to use bitter sarcasm, you bet i'm gonna use it.

But then he would have to worry about smogging it and if he wants something thats fast and easily upgradible from its stock form, factory turbo cars are the way to go. But I'm goin the turbo KA route myself.

i gotta love how a factory turbocharged car is any more easily upgradeable than a car that's turbocharged with a kit.....
yup, it's so much easier to put the exact same components that come in a kit onto a factory car that came turboed.

it'll also depend on where you live, as far as smog goes.

well wen there is an invitation I will take it. j/k <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
Anyway I hate the looks of the new Imprezas. I love the older ones 9w/o the circle headlights). I would personally love a WRX. If I was rich I would have an S13 with an Sr for summer and spring. And a 2.5RS for winter (gotta love AWD). If I was really rich I would just buy an R33 for winter
