My brother has one and loves it, pretty sure it was the replacement for his M3.

Where are the pics? There are 2 or 3 running around my apt complex, and I think 2 of them are driven by women which i think is cool. I'm curious, but love my boxster.

Cool car!

Bought this in 2015 so far it’s been a ton of fun. It’s my dd. Only problem was the clutch went after 13k its a wear item but they covered it. Mech told me they replaced the clutch on every new model since. They can’t seem to get it right. May be trading it in for new model. Maybe STI. Good luck with it and let’s see the pics.

Tried to talk the wife into one of those, ugliness factor killed the idea.

Wasn't the WRX considered a Porsche killer in Europe...

I love Subarus, they just do everything well.

Great move.
I love driving my Subaru more than my 911.
Steering is surgically precise.
It's the greatest car I have ever driven.

I wish they made a 2 dr, like the old RS. I havent tried the latest versions but I dont fit well in recent 4dr wrx's. If I fit I'd have one too, good cars stock with great potential with some modest updates.

Dont think so... I have an '08 WRX is use a daily, it has a 4 speed automatic. supposedly it was slightly quicker than the manual.. I think 08 was the last year for a regular auto.. I heard that you can get a CVT in a WRX, but that just doesn't make sense..
