Test drove a new wrx

Kinda would like a commuter with better mpg than my f250. Looking at all sorts of things from cayman to cayenne to outback and today drove a wrx.

Premium model 6spd no options. These are approx 275hp turbo 4 with awd. Never drove a wrx before. Too boy racer but these new models are maybe a bit toned down.

First impression is I fit and have room for a helmet. Second thought is surprisingly smooth.

Wonderful clutch, decent gearbox, not obnoxious sounding. Not wild about torque steer on front and that 1-2 shift needs a blip to be smooth. I haven’t owned a manual in quite a few years but this was a very easy car to drive. Nice power.

I’m impressed. Wonder how much $$ it would take to get a go kart feel.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
