Default not thinking about trading in the audi yet... but anyone have anything good to say about the wrx?

i have only seen a handful out on the road, and they dont really seem to be growing on me... but the wagon version looks the most appealing of the pair and i wanted to know if anyone had any good or bad comments. anyone have any driving experience in one?

thanks in advance.

Default here's your nomex.

I think they are:

a) ugly
b) decently priced for the base model...but stoopid expensive with addons
c) ugly
d) cheap interior
e) ugly
f) ugly.

Default if you go from audi to wrx you will be disappointed,

besides the performance side of the wrx, it's a POS. The interior is cheap and tacky. There is no sunroof. No idea on resale value since they are brand new, still have bugs to work out too. I would much rather have a slower car and my interior than the wrx engine and it's crappy interior.

Default It's a great little car for the price. But, you still get what you paid for.

When I say there's nothing like a Subaru interior, it's not a complement

As a car they are phenomenal. I will probably own one someday as a skiing vehicle.
The AWD is good, not the best. But it's light as hell.

Options/interior they are very, um, sparse. I could never have one as my only car (i'm spoiled).

Default awesome performance

My dad bought a 2002 sedan, and actually let me drive it. It is a very quick car in stock form, and handles very well. He has since upgraded it to about 295 hp. The car is like an amusement park ride. When I drove it I had an ear to ear grin. I don't think you can beat a WRX for bang for the buck. The look has grown on me, at first I didn't like it.

Well, if you're going for performance, they really can be fun. SO light. (~2800 lbs with AWD)
