time for a 4door?
 
Just wanted to get some feedback from the community to see what other have done.

*

I have a 2013 FRS, the car is great and have been wonderful to me.

But with a growing family I may now need to look at options. 1 15months old and another one coming.

*

Here are some of the cars I’m looking at.

*

2012 WRX manual – straight trade or maybe 5k up on my end

2011 EVO GSR manual – trade and maybe 8k up on my end

2013 Toyota Sienna –trade and maybe 5k up on my end

2014 Nissan Rogue – straight trade or maybe 1-3k up on my end

*

2015 Audi S3 –trade and maybe 15-20k up on my end

*

Just wanted to see what your thoughts on these cars and or any other advises you can share having 2 car seat on an FRS. So far I am leaning towards the WRX but I don’t know how good they are, it will be the most cost effective and fun.

*

Thoughts? Any regrets?

Any and all would be better for your needs.
Whichever fits your budget and personal tastes.

2012 wrx

cost effective, fun, decent mpg

sienna/rogue are just in completely different classes all together.

Do you have any other vehicles? If no, maybe a small suv like roque would be good...


WAY too many variables for us to decide for you haha

the only firsthand experience I have with any of those cars is the Evo. I would highly recommend against buying one. Especially in Vancouver.

I'd like to throw a contender in there. The Focus or Fiesta ST. Just at least test drive one. Trust me.
As for the list, I'm guessing people here will lean towards the WRX. My point is for the Evo.

OP Don't get that '12 wrx. Those years blow chunks. WRXes in general that aren't hawkeyes are bleh...

From my personal experience the 2014 Nissan Rogue (bought my parents one) is a very capable crossover. Plenty of storage in the back and the rear seats have plenty of leg room, which is great for a growing family like yours. The engine department is lacking in my opinion, a V6 would've been nice or the MR16DT engine from the Juke would be excellent. Overall it's a Jack of All Trades type of vehicle, a 7/10.

Hell then! Keep the FRS and only take one kid at a time!!!!

continuecrushing 02-26-2015 03:46 PM

definitely don't go with the audi...its not bad by any means, but at that point you might as well keep the frs and buy another vehicle...like a 2010-2013 small suv/crossover

they are just inferior. Heavier, sloppier. not really any more power or any further capabilities.
