Interested in picking one up, pros and cons of this car?

I'm mainly concerned with the performance/reliability, and the cargo room for a box.

Their Trannies ****. That's what I hear from everyone including WRX owners.

My sister is on her second WRX with no complaints. I've always been a fan of the wagons.

only major con I can think of is the turbo lag, but that really isn't bad on the 06+ when displacement was stepped up from 2.0 to 2.5L. Also if you are looking to buy an 02-05, uppipe/ downpipe combo works wonders for the turbo lag

I have one and love it lots of room great power and upgrades well. check out http://www.clubwrx.com or http://www.wrxfanatics.com BTW the trannies only break on a wrx if your a dumbass trying to drag race (ITS A RALLY CAR DUH) but you can always get a STI ****** later if you want to drag with out worries

I have a 02 Wrx, People break the ****** in a AWD car because they pop the clutch, You are not supposed to pop the clutch in an AWD car. As for other things the Small TD04 turbo doent have to much lag it will start to spool at 2500RPM and I can hit 16PSI boost at 4500prm. I love my car, and will keep it untill the EVO X comes out later this year.

good for bass, my friends got a 12" 5500 sledgehammer and it almost keeps up with my setup. his was an 03 i think and shattered the 2nd gear on his ****** (weak) and he only had bolt ons. as for turbo lag? GTFOutta here! its a boxer engine for ****s sake.

i've been looking around the wrx sites for a while now and haven't really found any audio guys talking about their setups. i guess i'll have have to go check one out at the dealership and see what kind of room there is.

ive been obsessed with WRXs since they came to america in 96. theyre pretty reliable except for the trannys on the 02-05 models, 06 and 07 theyre a little better. Compared to an evo reliability is pretty good, plus you have AWD. And if you wanna go fast wrx can hit 60 in 5.4, and its alot more customizable then the STi. You can PM me if u wanna know more.

They werent officially sold until 02, but alot sneaked over around 96 due to rallying etc. Do you only see 02 WRXs and above in america? no

ok.. Im sure glad you corrected me.. seeing as how something isnt sold to the general public, most folks dont count importers bringing over homogulated vehicles for rally racing to be "available"
