Keep My FR-S With 2,000 Miles or Sell It For a 2009/2010 WRX STi?

Looking for advice!

More information would be nice. Mileage on the WRX? How much do you owe on the FR-S? Why did you buy an FR-S if you wanted a WRX?

I'd personally be hesitant. With the FR-S you know what you have, but STi's tend to be driven.... enthusiastically. Just looking for more power and AWD?

You coming on a FRS/BRZ forum and asking for advice about trading your FRS... Yeah good luck with that.. You should already figure out what most of the advice will be

If you personally don't like the power.. Take the hit on trade in and buy a 3-4 year old car

I guess it depends...to me it doesn't make sense to sell a car you just bought and only have 2000 miles on...

my opinion the FR-S is a brand new car you just bought, i'd keep it, i've made the mistake once going from a brand new car to a used one and i regretted it. Then again this is my personal opinion, i'd go for what best suites your needs.

Either you want an RWD or an AWD. Figure that out first, then move forward.
