Let's be real. We're talking about a fun, nice, everyday car. To have the computers start doing a bunch of work, requires pushing the car a bit...and not in a straight line. Which shouldn't be happening on public roads anyways. Now, for those who are going to track the car and actually push the car on closed courses or wherever, I can see the appeal of the FRS and the raw un-altered connection between the driver and the car.
For the street on day to day commute..who gives a rats ass. *sarcastic quote* Oh the GTR sounds good on paper but the computers do all the work. The FRS feels better. Ignorance.
Also, in regards to your comment about price. I don't mean to boast or brag...but the WRX MSRP is about 26k. I have yet to see a markup on a WRX at a dealer yet. I just helped my buddy back home in AZ get one for 25,2xx plus tax, title etc. which came out to under 28. Mine came out closer to 27 AND THAT WAS WITH the leftover balance from my trade in rolled over. 30k is definitely exaggerated. The STi is even right at MSRP at dealers. The Evos are the cars I'm always seeing marked up, especially now that this is the last year they're selling the Evo X. |
I apologize, i didn't mean "less of a car" WRX are FANTASTIC vehicles, amazing grip, fast as hell, and enough space for a family or gang of friends..What i meant was I think AWD gets boring, and i personally would like a smaller RWD car. i periodically call the 3 closest subaru dealers and they all laughed at me when i said i wanted a "one year certified used WRX for 26 out the door" they all quoted me around 31-32 out the door for a new one because they are so "rare"
