but get automatic transmission, would this be like buying shoes but not having feet?
-
yes
-
yes, why do they even make wrx with an automatic tranny?
-
yes
****ing thought so, guess I will get an Impreza instead.
-
if u want to get a a/t wrx get it.. haha just drive both and see which one you prefer.
-
9/10 GHers own a WRX...
The other 1/10 has the STi

Manuals are fun but I cant be ****ed half the time, if I was to test drive both I would be like **** yeah manual. But then two weeks later at the first sign of traffic I would then be like I have made a terrible mistake.
**** I hate buying cars, too many to choose from and my price range always creeps up from my original ceiling.

imprezas are over rated, any car is over rated
just buy a reliable car with good mpg. I get 40mpg on my hybrid Camry :p

Look at it this way, I started off looking at Corolla's and the Ford Focus. Now I am on ****ing Roo's. Also L/100km not mpg.

Don't buy a "sports car" if you want to have granny automatic transmission.

Agreed. At that point your just go-carting. :))

I just got the Impreza sport hatch. I wanted the wrx but who in the hell will I be racing? Pretty car but I liked how the sport looked too.

What is the accelleration like? Also what year? People seem to be saying that it takes a while to get up to speed but i dont know if it is similar to othwr small cars or it is noticably slower?

Focus is still on the table. I hear they come with hhkb plates standard from the factory.

I mean its faster then your average civic lol. Its not going to accelerate like a wrx.
It is a 2012, while it is auto it has the shift peddles on the side. If I want some better acceleration I can always just use those.
But I bought it more for the fact that it is all wheel drive, a hatch, and can take corners like a mother ****er.

No no that's fiestas. And only for special people.
I really wanna get an RS just so I can have the plates SUBAWHO.

It all really depends on where you live. If you have to commute in and out of the city every day than a manual can get old rather fast. If you're on the highway or the open road a lot then why not get a manual and have some fun.

I figured that when people were talking about accelleration they are secretly/subconsciously comparing it to wrx in their minds.

WRX CVT is booty

WRX CVT is booty
I am not sure as to what booty means in this particualr case? I know it can mean rear end or pirate treasure, but i dont think either definition fits with this particular usage.

Bought a manual BRZ. Haven't looked back since. Worth every second of it even in traffic.
-
I dont think they offer automatic do they? I was looking at civic SI and they dont offer auto.

They do, they offer CVT. Which is auto with shifting pedals.

Oooo I may have to think about that. ;) I'm liking auto now that I'm older and can't stand stop and go traffic. Haha

Why settle for a dime a dozen WRX when you can get a far superior Subaru BRZ?

BRZ doesn't have the same power as the WRX.

I am most likely going to settle for a boring impreza. Wrx is tempting but there are so many police in my area and i just have no desire to deal with their **** weekly. Also i started looking for a car based on the idea of fuel economy, which has crept into the zone of fun cars.
I have started to look at golf or poli gti as a happy medium but i need to just get something already otherwise i will just be searching for 6 months and end up buying a bike

The BRZ is much lighter though. Built more like a sports car than a rally car.

Here's how to get the coolest Subaru
Step 1. Manual
Step 2. BRZ
Step 3. ???
Step 4. **** all the *****es

It isn't always about power. Nothing better than being able to swing out the tail of your car at 30mph. Puts a smile on my face everytime ;)

wrx is not a rally car, it's rally inspired.
i like both, will take the wrx over it in a heartbeat.

Exactly. It's about the experience while driving over the power.
Unless you're buying it as a track car. Then it's a bit different. :))

you do know you can have both right?
it's pretty simple, subaru didn't want to cut into their wrx sales and purposely made the brz slow. not about power is crap, if u wanted driver experience get yourself a miata.

Well of course you can have both, and I've never driven a wrx, but I'd assume it's fun as hell. Also never driven a miata, but I haven't heard anything bad about them, so I've wanted to give one a spin recently.
And I'm not going to try and make some bull**** excuse for the brz, it's nowhere near the wrx performance wise, but I have a special love for the brz. Especially since it's one of the best looking (not crazy expensive) cars imo
-
no argument there, the brz is ridiculously nice looking. although im more of a fan of the FRS's fangs than the BRZ's mustache.
i'd take one if i got a deal on it.
-
Yeah, for Subarus I like the BRZ the most, but if I was to actually buy a BRZ/FRS, I'd go with the FRS. The fangs make it look way sharper
-
True, they are essentially the exact same car. Same engine, same specs, even the interior is the same looking.
-
same crickets
