wat year wrx?

[aflacattack]

if its a 2003-2006 i would! sorry guys, i love my celi, but a wrx is ftw!
its one of the cars i'be wanted since i was like 15 lol!
its one of my favorite cars under 50k

[delusionz]

There would have to be something incredibly wrong with the Toyota and something spectacularly amazing about the Subaru. And then the Subaru would move on straight away to buy a better Toyota.

[Harold_Fastwaker]

Never would. WRXs are overplayed high school bull**** cars. If you are still in high school, well be my guest. You will fit right in with the crowd.

i have never known a high schooler with a WRX...
one did have a 22b or w/e, but it was trash.
Subaru's are great if you maintain them, and they are fast as well yeah. I scared the hell outa the salesman on a test drive...
...i guess letting the backend get loose on an on-ramp isn't his idea of fun. Least he was nice and said i was a good driver !

I graduated 5 years ago from HS. I know of at least 10 that were in my public school parking lot. They are just like Evos. I see them everywhere and they are magnets for police.

Their Transmissions suck btw. The WRX that is.

oh god i agree about the evo's, they are everywhere, its annoying!!!
i hate it even more when its some idiot behind the wheel who thinks he's a bamf.. then when you race him, he cant even get the car off the line without almost stalling it!
but man, i wish i went to HS with you, nicest car we had when i was in HS was a mustang that a little spoiled princess got for free from her parents!

WRX is faster than Celica, Possibly even the GT4 stock for stock... But when you go and ask 4000+ Celica lovers if they would trade their car for a fast pile of **** like that what the hell are they gonna care for speed when they would have to give up good looks and good curves and good quality and most of all their passion?

If I'm not speaking for everyone here, then I'm willing to take the heat for that... I know how forums can get but I'm pretty sure nobody chose the Celica because it was the quickest thing their money could buy.

Id like to see that proved on paper my friend!!! been googling wrx 0-62 its about 6.5s and gt4 6.1 imo

[malpaso]

Just my opinion... I would trade my car for Subaru (maybe) but definitely not for WRX! WRX It's waste of money...

I would not believe that at all...

Well on paper the WRX has a similar curb weight to an NA Celica (Without Turbo/4WD running gear), At stock standard the WRX boosts almost twice the PSI of a GT-Four and we all know the boxer design is more energy efficient than inline motors... Not to mention WRX went from 2 litre to 2.5 litre.

I couldn't give a crap about any of that, I love 6gens, I love Toyota, and I love not sitting on the side of the road liking like a twat because my performance car is not performing at all.

[Euphoria]

I would haha then Id sell it and probably get a GT-4

[97Celica]

WRX's also have CRAP motors/trannies.... I have a friend that drives one...she's on her 3rd motor and it's a 05 STi...

[playr158]

not unless it was a STi.

[3SGTE]

you guys heard of the impreza wrx sti p1? a revised version of the rally-going engine with recalibrated electronic controls to develop no less than 280bhp

[Vince-Noir]

Exactly, and with the Prodrive upgrade. Friend of mine just sold his 06 plate STi as the interior was awful... plastic paradise! If you're talking about the Impreza's made at the same time as the GT4 ST205, then you need to remember that the pistons were actually made out of chocolate.




GT4 for my garage without hesitation. Only thing that endears that shape scooby to me is that Colin McRae used to drive them in the WRC - personal hero, RIP.

[Mr-GT-FOUR]

Hey mate Impreza are quite cool cars too. I'm lucky to own both.

I have a gen6 Celica GT-FOUR, & a subaru Impreza RB5 (1999)

I think the celica is sexier out of the two cars, both handle like a treat. The impreza (RB5) is lighter then the ST205.
The problems u tend to get on the impreza's is the 3rd piston, its close to the turbo and tends to heat up more then the others. But dont let you put that off.
Labour costs in the uk are cheaper too on the Impreza

you guys heard of the impreza wrx sti p1? a revised version of the rally-going engine with recalibrated electronic controls to develop no less than 280bhp

Yeah we got the P1's here in the uk LTD edition 2 door,
0-60 4.8 secs,

hold their value quite well, and a good toy to have.

[Supersprynt]

After Subaru decided on dropping the 2.0 in lieu of the 2.5 in the WRX, I feel like I would be wasting my money on a STI.

[CAMAricer]

There's one being sold (an 03 or 04?) at a used car lot where I work...$13K. I have no idea what these things go for...but for $13K I was tempted. But if I traded in my Celica...I'd get about $1000.

So...is that STi work 13 Celicas? Umm...not to me, it ain't.
