Thanks for the info guys. Reliability is a huge factor, but fun is as well. The other serious contender when I am finally ready for another car is a GTI VR6. I guess I'd have to test drive them and see which I like better. But the WRX does have AWD, and I do live in NYC. Anybody remember last year's blizzard?
Plus the WRX and the VR6 sound so good with an aftermarket exhaust :yummy:
The only car that would make me forget about the WRX and the VR6 is a Vortex Blue New Beetle. Something about having matching cars...
