ITS A SPEED3 not a CX-7 (SUV thingy)

Its a Wagon, I was pretty much down to buying a WRX wagon or this!

A wagon has more uses for me, Im done with having tiny ass cars that dont hold shit. I have things to do like haul snowboards and shit.

This thing is awesome and it runs a 14.3 stock compared to a WRX running 14.2 stock and its about 2Gs cheaper. It has more safety features and looks fuckin sweet, I like it and itis a little low key but the pics by no means do it justice.

The only downside is only FWD but it definitely makes up for it and corners like you wouldnt believe it actually track test better than a WRX stock for stock. Please read motor trend and sport compact cars issue that featured this car and have complete reviews for reference.

Its a 2.3 4 cyl turbo with 260 hp and 280 lbs torque.
with tons of nice things inside to make it even more comfortable.

the hood and wheels are heavy and more than needed but those will be swapped with lighter parts soon. First things first though... I WANT A BOV now that Im back in a turbo.

OUT the door I was well under 26gs including Gap insurance - Oh and the insurance rates are about 30 dollars cheaper a month than a wrx!
