why the wrx is better than your 86

You can't buy one with an auto. Done end of story auto's are garbage and should never be put into anything that wants to be a real sports car.

Since when is the WRX a sports car? Also the WRX has always come in automatic, even the first generation which was a shitty 4 speed.

Man your just showing you don't really know anything about cars, period.

Gotta love these one sided people showing up on car forums.

The wise man has something to say. The fool is compelled to say something

Currently the WRX is not available in auto, atleast according to Subarus website.

Not trying to add any validity to the OPs comment, just saying.

That might change, there were years when the auto was and wasn't offered.

But to act as if the WRX never came with an auto? That's just folly.

The WRX was offered, in America, with an automatic transmission from 2002-2009. The 08-09 automatic WRX was labelled "2.5GT" and are extremely hard to come by. I know because I was trying to source one for my wife a couple years back.

I wish the twins didnt have an option but Toyota would never release a manual only car.

The funniest thing I've read in a long time. I guess since the Twins come with auto and manual (buyers choice) that makes them better than a Ferrari which has to rate somewhere down at the bottom (according to your sound logic).

Troll indeed !

I'm curious to know how their offering the option has any impact on you or the car that you bought.
