I'm sooo confused on what I want to do. I was thinking about trading my 97 2.2 CL to my parents for there 01 Impreza 2.5 RS because I know I would have so much more fun with that car and I could do sooo much more to it, but I would feel bad because it is a brand new car. What do you guys think?

 

Hummm let's see a 97 2.3 or a 2001 car????

 

It thinks more of, hummm a 97 Acura CL 2.3 that has a truely unique look for every other car on the road or an Impreza?

I say keep your CL!

 

I would keep the CL

 

Acura or Subaru? If you even have to THINK about that decision, I'm a little worried...

 

Dude keep the Ack!!!! unless the Subaru is a WRX, then you are crazy....i know personally that my 3.0 will smoke nearly any Subaru except the WRX...besides...its ugly!!!

 

IMPREZA or CL... IMPREZA or CL... IMPREZA or CL... I say CL... if it were WRX or CL... you lose the luxury but you gain over 30hp and hella performance... Then Id say screw the CL go WRX!!!!

 

They sold a lot more CL's than 2.5RS Imprezas... a few hundred in '98, 3000 in '99, 10k in 2000, and about the same in 2001.

I had a 2000 2.5RS and it was tons of fun. I autocrossed it, took it in the snow whenever I could, etc. Never did any of that with my CL.

 

hey man lemme tell u 1 thing before u trade....last week i raced a 2,5 rs on a real windy road with my 98 2.3 cla nd lets just say his car is now in a dumpster cause he fliped it 3 times. it was lowered and had a full suspension w/AWD. now the choice is urs but think long and hard about hwat u are doing.

hmmm... that may only have to do with his driving skills.. not the car... but as I said before... IMO I would only consider WRX.... if I was to decide to trade in my CL...

 

Sorry to say this but you asked. There is just no comparison between the Impreza and the CL. The CL is a better car all the way. It's about the total package, not just the mods that you can do to it. There is really not that much of a need to mod the CL and it's great as is. If you want a car to mod, get a civic.

 

hey melo.. atleast stick in the family.. he should get an integra,, its acura dammit!!!

 

Ok I can agree with that. Even the Integra would be classier.

 

is the Impreza a manual or auto?

If its a stick I would tell you to consider it, if auto, then no way!

 

Ok, it's either an Impreza or 2.2 CL. There are no other options. Remember I have a 2.2 not a 6-cylinder 3.0. And all I really care about are the mods. I dont really care if the car is classy looking or not, I'm 19 and am not looking for a "classy" car. I actually think I'm going to get the impreza, but we'll see. I'm going home to ST.louis for 10 days and I'm going to think it over.

 

Okay, if you don't want a classy car, then what DO you want? And why do you have a CL now? You asked for opinions, we gave 'em to you.

In your original post you said you'd "feel bad" if you modified a brand new car. Why's that?

 

Maybe he feels like he's screwing over his parents????

Not moding a new car.

 

I drove the Imprezas and I didn't care at all for the 2.5RS. However, I absoloutely loved the WRX! It was nuts! That car kicks ass!

 

WRX is INSANE!!!! but its just a subaru... something about that scares me... but they do do RALLY RACING!!!!!... hmmmm.... god if you were debating the WRX or CL... i couldnt help you.. but yet again.. i must state my opinion...

CL v. IMPREZA = CL
CL v. WRX = SHIT.. glad I aint making that choice!!!!

 

Subaru is yucky. Stick with the CL unless your warranty is about to expire or something.

 

listen you confused devil/angel person...hehe
the subaru isnt as pretty aor luxurious.. but it performs better stock than a fully MODED CL.... 235HP i think out the showroom and a sport suspension ready to rip... hard to say... it depends on what you want, need and desire!!!!

 

227-bhp is what it's engine churns out thanks to that Mitsubishi-supplied turbocharger. Not, 235, Capser

 

i said i think.... lol but still ripping a CL apart!!!

 

It doesn't matter, it's still ugly! :p

 

I disagree.. not a bad looking car.. just not as sleek and elegant thats all... for the $$$ and what it comes with ... WRX seems to be well worth it!!!!

 

I actually like the WRX, I was actually talking about the other Subaru's. Your right, maybe I shouldn't be too critical. It's just not something I would drive, but to each his own....

 

I knew we'd agree....

 

Hey- I'll trade you my 2002 Kia Sephia for your CL...
