2 or 1 car?
 

I currently have a 2010 corolla.
looking at 2 (maybe 3 options)
1.) keep corolla and get frs
2.) trade in corolla and get wrx
3.) drive corolla for a long time and save up for sti

mainly looking at options 1 and 2

live in Alberta so we get snow here.
just me and my gf, no kids, don't want any.
buying a house next year so I'm just planning this for the next year or 2. (3rd year frs). but as of now, what would you do?
thanks

Drive the FR-S in the snow, get snow tires.


Why did you need two cars again?

/thread.

Why don't you have an option of keep corolla and get a WRX? A WRX is less than 2k from a FR-S.

Do what makes you happy. Do you need this car for your gf or does she have her own car? If you don't need the car why not trade it in and get the FR-S?

Get the FR-S, it's the best car ever. Not the BRZ, the FR-S. Whiteout manual to be specific.
this is a very unbiased answer as you can tell.

Why not the BRZ?

I do believe the fine gentleman was being was making a joke. As he has the specified, Whiteout FR-S Manual. Ha. Haha.

Ha.

gf doesn't need the car, she could just drive mine, but usually doesn't need to.
frs fun factor > wrx i'm assuming

also, there's no way the frs can go through a foot of snow here

whiteout would be the colour i'd get lol

In Canada , the base on an FR-S is $25,990. A base WRX starts at $32,495. That could be a factor.

wrx = fast, awd, good in show, nice looking

frs = fun to drive, VERY nice looking

Hmmmm. This is a tough one. I have another car that Im actually getting ready to sell since the FR-S is a capable daily. But, my area doesnt get as much snow as Canada.

Why not sell the Corolla and get a really old pos for a grand or two?

Best advice ever right here.

"Keep the corolla for a winter beater, and garage your FRS for winter. Get a WRX a few years later by trading in your Corolla".

Keep that FRS rust-free as possible

I own 2004 mustange gt,2001 eclipse gt, and a fr-s i would go for option a its better to have 2 cars anyways

Ohh sorry, I didn't know the price difference was that much of a gap.

In that case I say just get the WRX and call it a day. To be honest, Subaru has done such a good job with the WRX that the STi isn't all that much better. Plus you can use it all year.

the corolla is a pretty decent DD. it's comfortable for the price(not comparing it to mercedes and audis, etc.). that's why i want to keep it. plus the safety features would be better than the crappy beaters.


thats what i was thinking, except the trading in a few years later thing.

wrx is perfect for snow since its a rally car... not a race car............ notice the rally in the sentence

You can get a WRX new for less than $25k if you know where to look. Oh wait, that is in the USA...my bad...

I agree with you 100 percent!

but then look at how nice the wrx is now too

but i want a frs also cause it would be the nice day, weekend, look forward to driving, clean all the time car.
i couldn't keep that up with a DD

Buy FRS. Trade Corolla for older WRX. Win at life.

if you are going to look into a used market in an attempt for some summer fun, just get the oldest miata you can trust and use the rest to pay off your debt from your soon to be new home. its going to be decades before the frs can beat a used miata on the smile per dollar factor

Get what you can now cuz once the family starts growing, unless your income significantly increases, this expensive hobby takes a back seat.

I couldn't own a fr-s as my only car :/ so I vote keep the rolls + frs

If you are going to buy house, you will need a truck. Get BRZ/FRS for yourself and SUV for your girlfriend. That is what I did - BRZ for me and XTERRA for my wife.

Keep the corolla until all these technical issues with the FRS are worked out. But if you must get something new get the wrx due to your weather climate.

Get the WRX. I've got an FR-S, and love it... but I also live somewhere where snow is only a myth. The WRX is as much fun, faster in the dry, and usable year round (actually more fun in the winter, in my opinion).

They are doing a complete redesign of the WRX within the next 12 months or so, that may have a huge impact on your decision. If you're not buying today, just wait until you're ready - there could be 5 other cars new to the market that you didn't know to consider.

If buying today, and you don't mind poor fuel economy, I'd say WRX. Their ability in the rain and snow makes you love driving in poor conditions. (less fun in dry conditions, but not bad).

wash it once a week to get the salt off! it's why they have car washes!

real men drive RWD in snow!

Yeah, unfortunately there's a big price difference here. A friend of mine bought a base 5 door WRX (about $1G over a sedan) around the same time I got my FR-S... Out the door, it was around $38Gs. He really likes the car.

i remeber my first car.

this one's easy, keep the corolla and get the FRS. I can bet you won't be letting your gf touch the frs.

I have a 2010 Corolla as well. Kept my Corolla and bought an FR-S. Just was easier to have two cars.

2; that's what I'm doing.

Number 1, thats what I'm doing. A 2nd car is always useful when you need it.

STi

depends!! i say we need a picture of both the car and the girlfriend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hm, I like

don't have her permission. but she's 5'8, long blonde hair, blue eyes, nice butt and boobs

i love it! makes my testicles swell up! ehe! he! he!

I'm in Alberta and I will drive my frs all winter and it will be a blast drifting every corner.
