Hey guys just checking in. I recently got a newer car and also plan to keep the TL as well. Since its owned free and clear plus I invested a ton of time and money, selling isn't even a consideration right now. I definitely love the new ride. Something about turbo, AWD and a manual transmission that is just so fun to drive! Here's some pics of the new baby.

Focus RS was nice but still FWD with a nice diff but still FWD problems. I needed AWD for snowy winters plus I always loved Subies. It's pretty much an STi with a little work. A lot less cost and it was very low miles 1 owner.

I can promise I got this for at least 1/4 of that price and will easily hit 345 by the time I finish. Plus Fords AWD isn't same as Subaru. They've done it a long time.

I think it looks great. Always loved Subarus and I searched a very long time and took a 1000 mile trip to get this one. It's hard to find in this condition. 1 owner. Unmolested. Premium package with manual trans. I couldn't be happier.

I love my subie. 04 wagon WRX. Bought it in May 2003, only 107k on her and many mods. 185k on the 02 TL and still going.

Awwww just Admit it, The TL is still faster and turns sharper But I admit having a manual is more fun while commuting.

Nah TL won't be faster much longer. Got parts on the way already. Having a car with great aftermarket support is awesome. I've found so much stuff so far. Tuning FTW.

Congrats on your buy man.. I was as exited when I got my Grand Cherokee SRT8 2006 until I saw the catback or header prices and I almost spit my soda up on my screen..

Always liked the MT Forester XT.
My grandmother had an auto '07 XT, fun to blast from Vegas to Utah & back in. Then she sold it
