Replacing the impreza
Well, we've thought about it all afternoon and seem to be changing our minds. Perhaps it is time for the impreza to go to a new home (i.e. to a crazy mechanic who's going to stuff with sti'ness).
I'm thinking 10-15k as a budget. Requirements: 1. MT only 2. Decent handling/brakes/seats 3. Good mpg I noticed that 03-04 accords (4-cyl) are priced around there and likely good value for the money. When I suggested, she went ballistic... So there's some image requirement of some sort. I think she likes hatches the most, with sporty wagons/coupes next. So an rsx is a possibility. I'll have to do some research. |

She loves gti's... Is it reliable enough? Also two VAG's in the family is one (two?) too many... I guess we'll be shopping this Saturday.

Mazda 3s are nice compact cars, but you won't find a new one for $15k. Used, almost definitely.

I know of a nice '02 WRX with 36K that will probably be up for sale pretty soon.
