spacious.
4 doors.
sporty.
gas mileage.
reliable.
warantied.
THEN comes my desire to make it fast.
I'll put money on it that if you get a WRX you'll either A) Sell it shortly after buying it or B) modify it.

You must make damn good money to support you buying/selling cars left and right.

I probably did that a few times, but who hasn't!

It's funny, though. With each "new" car I get, the slower I drive.

Maybe I'm getting old.

Save your cash and get a Scion tC

It's "newerish", looks good.. has room... gets decent gas mileage. Eh, not so fast but that's the last on your list.

Then why do a tune etc etc on it?

LOL.

I tried to do the whole, " speed doesnt' matter to me" thing. Then, I spent retarded money on other shit. Then all my friends got their setups running, and I got to ride with them. Got back in my car and it wasn't the same.

And here I am, scramblin' just to get another decent motor setup in the car to hold me over.

Then off to build the 'big motor'.

I really need to sit in an S2000. I was gonna have one replace the MR2 someday, but if you weren't comfortable, and you're a measly buck 45, I seriously may have to rethink my decision standing at 6'4, 245.

As far as the decision goes with your car, it seems as if you've already made up your mind with the WRX. Any other suggestions are futile.
