Life can be full of regrets, don't put one on the list by doing this.

If you get the WRX you will also have to start vaping. It's just what WRX owners do..

Don't do it!

They are money pits. Every single part that goes on it means you need to pay to get a tune. It's a never ending process. Trust me! in just over 6 years I went through: 5 sets of tires, 5 sets of brakes, 3 turbos, 4 tunes, and then....3rd gear grenaded itself (5 speed 2007).

Lets see: I was pulled over 5x, only one of which was I actually driving fast, the other 4 were "warnings," and the constant every stop light someone wanting to race got old.

I think the re-sell however is going to be better than the Z because people want 4door awd vehicles in the northern states, but, what would you rather look at and get into every day? The Z is actually a beautiful looking car that doesn't look like just another 4 door on the road with random over-styled lines running everywhere.

I say keep the Z, get a cheap used wrx that someone already sank their life savings into instead, and don't beat the crap out of it unless you want to buy a new transmission, or find a used older sti with the 6 speed that can take some abuse.

Trust me, you don't want to be a goofy Subaru driver, ever.

If you're going to go this route or similar, I'd go Focus RS or Golf R. Might be a little more but imo so worth it

good idea but personal preference, no Germany or American cars.

XD forgot about the multi quote thingy. I would really love to keep the Z but looks sub is a better option for a country with half year heavy snow. still debating myself like should i spend another 20k to slam TT on the Z or just trade an STI and call it a day/
