considering trading my Nismo for this 5.0

I like the new rims they have. CG's on the ride. 1LE is hard to argue against though, only if what it brings to the table is what you were after. And someone get some Raid and spray that Beetle!

Haha. Thanks, SS_Firehawk. Good observation
The Beetle will be gone soon. I ordered this car in early January and the dealer said it would take at least 16 weeks for it to get here

To quote Borat, "VERY NICE"

thanks, shadoquad.

People say the insurance premium on the WRX is pretty high.
the insurance on the Beetle is lower than my 370z nismo's insurance rate at 2,000 miles a year cap.

At the time when I got the Beetle, it was meant to serve as a daily driver and because there's no space in the garage (and the car had to be parked outside), I figured a Beetle would be good because nobody would do anything to it (Turns out to be true, so far).

Now there's space in the garage, I went for a better (faster) car

Yeah, I got an STI to replace my daily driver. I love it. It's pricey to insure, but it sure is fun and practical!

The WRX insurance is pretty high, but it's worth it in my mind. Fantastic car--you should love it.

Thanks, Red__Zed.
The insurance premium for the Camaro is less than the 370z
I thought 6.2L V-8 and 426 HP would cost more but I was wrong.

The cost of insurance has allot of variables one of them being cost of parts when it needs to be repaired.

And Japanese are more expensive parts vs American car parts.

There's a lot that goes into premiums, buying demographic does not help the WRX.

for perspective, the wrx was about 60% more than the Z, while my mustang is less than half what I paid for the Z.
