I have loved WRX's for years, but have never owned one. As i am getting older, when i talk with people about getting a new car and tell them i am looking at a WRX they say "isnt that a kids car?" and look at me funny. So here is the question to anyone that has purchased a new WRX/STI since 2008. What age were you when you purchased the car and do you regret it?
EDIT:
Just so you know what the Subaru Market Research team has found:
30 year old engineer. Mortgage, career, dog, etc. I have loved WRX's since they first came out. Finally, I will have my own very soon (on order) and there's no shame in that!
I think they car can be tastefully modded to look a run great. I like the WRB, but stayed away from it because it does look younger. The WRX and STi has a great "respect factor" among most anyone that knows a thing or two about cars. I plan to have this car for many years.
I'm 29 and I just picked up a 2012 WRX sedan in WRB last weekend. I used to own a 2005 Sti few years back for a short period of time but mostly I come from a Honda background. I have had a 2000 Integra Type R, which I just sold and replaced with the WRX. I owned the Type R for 5 years and it is still my favorite car of all times and the WRX definitely has some big shoes to fill. I guess we will see how it will do. :drive2:
Hey all, 29 here and just picked up a premium sedan this weekend. First Subaru coming from two Honda Civic (on was Si) and a Honda Accord. I think it's safe to say that the WRX is probably going to be my favorite.
YOUR FEET WILL QUICKLY GROW TO FIT THE SHOES. I HAVE FOUND THE CAR HAS MORE TO OFFER THAN I HAVE GUTS TO PUSH IT. IT WILL QUICKLY PUT YOU IN SITUATIONS THAT YOUR FORESIGHT CANT EXPECT. ENJOY IT. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY....
YOU ARE GONNA LOVE IT. BREAK THE MOTOR IN LIKE SUBARU SAYS AND YOU WILL HAVE A RELIABLE MONSTER OF THE ROAD. KINDA FUNNY THE HONDA BOYS AND THE MUSTANG CLOWNS WON'T EVEN LOOK AT YOU IN TRAFFIC. OH YA THE M SERIES BMW GUYS HAVE NOT FIGURED IT OUT YET. SPANKED AN M3 ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK TONIGHT. I THINK HE GETS IT NOW.
I GUESS LAMP IS ME. KINDA REAL NEW AT THIS BUT WHAT A KICK IN THE BUTT CHATING WITH WRX FOLKS. GOTTA FIGURE OUT HOW TO POST PICS ECT. ILL KEEP BANGING AWAY AT I THOUGH. LOVE THE SIGHT.
