It goes in cycles. People complain about not getting a hatch, then they complain about the hatch.

I'm glad it doesn't. Sports cars are meant to have manual transmissions. Torque converters ruin things and dual clutch boxes are too expensive and often fragile.

They should have both options though, it'd be nice to get one as a daily driver but if my dog is a messing around in the car and I have to shift gears things could get messy lol

I hate the hatch look. I didn't even acknowledge the STi until the sedan came back out.

Stock they are pretty meh, but I have seen some with a nice front lip, wheels, and a drop that looked great, and they have so much space.

The WRX is offered with a CVT. There is also the Evo X MR if you want a dual clutch. I am glad this type of car has a MT.

But... performance dual clutches in cars under 40K are normally garbage. My Evo X MR dual clutch was horrible and couldn't get fixed by Mitsubishi (or they didn't want to fix it). I was bone stock and the clutches would still slip, and when it did, the car felt like it hit a tree. Its hard to explain how it feels, but let me assure you it doesn't feel good.

lol, when my clutch goes it's going to be upgraded. the WRX is good, but totally agree in that it doesn't really deliver high performance.

Yeah, a good dual clutch would push the cost of the car into a segment where 300hp just isn't going to cut it.

Holy **** anyone been over on the iwsti forum? It's not a car forum. It's a teenager filled internet battle royal of dimwits vs asshats where trolls are trolling trolls who are trolling themselves. Worst site I've ever been on. Meatspin.com is a better site than that. Man it's making me reluctant to leave the Z!

Anyone curious about meatspin... It's best you don't investigate, or at the very least, be alone when you do
