Well, I have a tough decision to make. At least I think it's tough...
I recently was gauking at one of my friend's WRX's when he dropped me off, and then hopped into my 850 and followed him. Or at least tried to, wow! those things are quick. Anyways, my 850 could barely keep up with his WRX.
Now on to the topic at hand... my dad considered for me to trade in my 1996 850 t-5 and get a 2002 WRX. Tough decision.
I drove the WRX, and it feels a little plasticky, but has great pickup to compensate for that. It doesn't have a sunroof, but has a nice, tightly shifting gearbox to make up for that... The interior seems a little plasticky, but to make up for that you have all your gauges, and everything you NEED for everyday driving... or racing! The only other thing is that it has cloth interior, that would be the first thing I would change out. MOMO seats, here I come!
It's competition, the 850. What a car, I have about $2000 invested into it right now, and it is in prestine condition with 85000 miles on the odo.
Now, I have the choice between these two cars. It's a tough decision, I was hoping you guys could help me out with it.
BTW, I know the WRX is a r1ce rocket you guys, but DAMN... that r1ce rocket FLIES!!! haha
O ya, and don't worry about being really really harsh, I need to hear all the worst and the best of your opinions.
As always, thanks
